A Case of Coat Lust
Confession: I have many winter coats. There’s the 3/4 length periwinkle wool overcoat, the chunky-knit turquoise peacoat, the 70’s butternut squash colored fuzzy cape, the plain black wool number with the best hood ever, and the abbreviated khaki raincoat. I love them all, and wear them all, too.
Obviously I am not a one-winter-coat girl, but I think it’s OK because I’ve had most of my coats for several years, and clean them each Spring to keep for the next year. I always think my coat wardrobe is complete, but then I’m tempted with the likes of these…..
