A Fresh Coat

by Jen on Monday, November 26, 2012

Confession: I have a coat problem. Some women like shoes, some women like bags. And while I definitely do appreciate those things as well, there is something about a new winter coat that makes me very happy. It's likely due to the fact that for so much of the year here, all you can really see in an outfit is the coat. Regardless, this has resulted in the bulky garments taking up a lot of  valuable closet space. I've gotten much more selective about my coats in the past year because of this, but this new one from Loft 82 was definitely too special to pass up.
Wearing: Loft 82 coat (Vancouver pop-up now on Granville St!), YesStyle blouse (c/o), J.Crew pants, Zara shoes (old), vintage Bally bag, Topshop necklace, Clinique chubby stick in Grandest Grape (colour coming soon - current ones here!)

I'm definitely digging the subtle Christmas colours. ;) You look cute and cozy!

I hear you with the coat obsession! I don't know what it is but it's like I need a different color for each outfit. Then of course I love the different textures of coats and they pull me in every time. This particular coat you have on is such a stunner. Loving the burgundy color!

This jacket has combined two of this season's latest trends.. burgundy, and contrasting sleeves! What a fantastic jacket.

Checked out the loft 82 pop-up while I was visiting in town (I'm from SoCal, but the bf is from Van), and I loved the whole store! Thanks for your instagram post on it, or I would have never known! LOVE the jacket you purchased!! Wish I had more time/money to shop the whole store again *and oak&fort too*! Made friends with all the ladies in the dressing room :P

Such a great time! Ur so lucky to be in Van!

I just bought a pair of viridian green trousers...this has motivated me to think of more ways to wear it.

I saw this coat at the Loft 82 media preview. Like you though, I've got a serious coat problem and have already bought 3 new pieces of outerwear this season, so I thought I should lay off this time around. :)

Looove the coat!! I wish I had more coats but I'll never get the chance to wear them in LA! :(

OMG, Jen! I LOVE that coat... and it's so perfect on you. I wish we could wear coats here in Hawaii. I'm already pushing the envelope with wear faux fur here, but I think it would be insane to wear an actual coat! LOL. Then again, this coat you have, could pass as a "jacket". hahahaha. Oh, the crazy things I do for fashion!

Hope you're doing well, lovely. Here's to a wonderful week!

A chic winter coat is a must! I love the color and detail of this one. It looks great with your forest green pants.
