The Brrrrrrrr Blog: Fine as wine in the winter time!

at by
Here in Michigan where I live, it gets chilly around October, stays cold 'til May, and becomes downright frigid in between. Consequently, I have a LOT of coats -- one for every temperature, every outing, every outfit. I thought it would be fun to put together a post featuring a number of my favorites, but then of course, after snapping some shots of the first one on my list, I kind of forgot about the idea. So I've had these pictures of my vintage wine colored dress coat sitting around for like a month.

Vintage coat: Young & Young via now defunct Ebay seller
Purse: vintage via the Getup
Umbrella: vintage Givenchy via the Getup
Shoes: Steve Madden

We got 10 inches of snow last night, so this thin little 60's number will be in the closet for a while. In fact, it's been so cold lately that even the idea of shedding my woolen outer shell for a few minutes to get a well lit outfit pic has been sounding increasingly less appealing. I'm nothing if not wimpy about shivering, but then again, Mother Nature is fickle. So we'll see!

    That coat is indeed amazing! I have one huge black ski jacket I wear all the time because I am a super-wimp when it comes to the cold. Haha, I didn't know Givenchy made umbrellas.

    Oh i love that coat! And I love how women used to dress up a bit more when they put on outerwear- just as you do here!
    Cath and I are weenies here in the ATL. It dips below 32º and I don't want to leave the house. (Christmas we'll be in the 60s).
    Can't wait to see the rest of your coat collection!
