Hey everyone! Now that all the winter clothing is on sale, I find it’s the best time to do some shopping. I was looking for a new coat and yes, one that would button or zip up. I found a super cute one here!
Yes, I know when it is zipped, I look like one of the elves from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer movie but I’m ok with that. Actually, I think it looks cute zipped.
It zips. It’s cute. It looks great when it’s open. The best part of the jacket is the faux fur on the inside. It is the softest I’ve ever felt. I was afraid it was real fur because it was so soft since usually faux fur has that acrylic feel to it, but luckily it’s fake.
I’m wearing it with my J. Jill jeans and my olive-colored Teva short boots that I wear when it’s seriously icy or snowy outside. I am really enjoying wearing my white jeans this winter. They add some brightness to these gray days here. This purse you’ve seen a lot this winter too.
So, when I was reading the reviews on the Macy’s website, lots of people were complaining about the fit. Perhaps we should start looking for the bad reviews on fit and use that as a clue that it might fit our shape? Hmmmmm. Anyway, short post today because I got back from my getaway weekend in Detroit yesterday evening and am catching up with everything. I’ll be posting another armchair travel post about Detroit and how much exploring we did soon. Have a great week everyone!

Thanks Jodie! Yes, I know. There are too many good buys to pass up it seems.
Great shopping and great coat! Thanks for linking up, xo
My pleasure Patti!
What a great coat! Love it zipped and unzipped. 🙂
Thank you Susan!
The coat looks so great on you! And I had to laugh when you suggested we read the reviews and buy the items everyone else hates — there’s probably some truth to that!
Yeah, I’m seriously thinking that could benefit us. We already know we’re outside the usual design silhouette so let’s take advantage of those clothes that get marked down b/c they don’t fit others well!
I love that jacket! I really like the look of moto jackets, I think they look great when left open. Lol at reading the bad reviews. I do that a lot and when there are complaints about being loose in the chest area or big in the waist I figure I may have just found a shirt or pants to take a chance on! So that way of thinking may work out for our body shape.
Yes, and maybe the item goes on sale quicker too. Either way, I’m going to start paying more attention to the reviews!
Rudolph elves, ha ha ha. I do see it 🙂 But it’s still mighty cute. AND YOUR LEOPARD PRINT GLOVES!!!
I’m very sad to be missing the sales. They’re calling me…callllllling me….but I must be strong. I can shop again in March cuz it’s an extra paycheck month, yippee!
Your weekend in Detroit looked very full and fun!

Thanks Bettye! I totally understand about showing some restraint. I actually have been pretty good, but really needed another coat and you know when you find something that fits and looks good it’s really hard to pass up!
Thanks for linking up to the Ageless Style Linkup!
My pleasure Nicole!
I love your look! Great winter style! =)

Thank you so much!
This is such a great jacket – love the cozy shearling! And those leopard print gloves are the cutest accessory.
Thanks Jennie! And now of course it’s starting to warm up so I can’t wear it as much as I would like!
