Baby, it's cold outside

6/25/2013

Do you remember back in December when you were admiring everyone's beautiful coats? Did you have your eye on a particular one? Maybe you should look it up now. I was longing for this prAna Sylvie coat, but it was too expensive. But not now! Although it's not so fun to have to wait to wear something, the best time to buy a coat is in the heat of summer.

We got about a foot of snow where we are in Denver. How much did you get?

I hear the coats that everyone's wearing in NY are Canada Goose. They run $500 and up, but they are NICE!

I love a white puffer. This white Duster Down Coat from Athleta is plenty good for me.

Cold weather memories

As the temperature drops, I think back to the many winter trips I took to Chicago to visit my best friend Michelle in grad school.

I learned to circle a scarf round and tie it behind my head to protect my face from the freezing wind. We visited the big Eddie Bauer store on Michigan Avenue, and Michelle picked out the heaviest, puffiest coat they carried, and I bought heavy boots.

We hung out in smoky coffee shops, ate bread and cheese, and drank espresso.

The downtown holiday store window displays are amazing in Chicago. It's bitter cold but oh so bright.

What's one of your favorite cold weather memories?

Eddie Bauer still provides exceptional gear for the cold, but their designs are a bit sleeker and shinier now.

Authentic, timeless, warm enough to block out chilling ocean gales, a Navy pea coat looks sharp with everything and lasts forever. Go for the real thing--an official USN genuine melton wool pea coat from an Army/Navy surplus store.

Army-Navy Superstores Ladies Pea Coat, XS-XL, $97. Wool Melton (22 oz), nylon quilt lined, genuine Navy anchor buttons. Also available in charcoal gray, camel, and red.

A coat for all seasons

Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a jacket to go with every outfit and work in every season? This jacket is long enough to go over a tunic, long cardigan, or dress. It's light-weight but warm. The double-breasted snaps make it dressy, but the fleece keeps it casual. The falcon color is lighter than it appears--it's taupe--good for fall but surprisingly good for spring too--taupe looks lovely with lavender, pink, rose, light green, light blue, floral, stripes... High quality fleece, won't ball.

Athleta Switchback Jacket, falcon, $39.99

Boden Somerset Coat, currently $94

The nature of clothing is so personal that just the simple gesture of helping someone on with her coat, handing one his gloves, conveys an striking tenderness.
