Ok, so it's only been 65 degrees here,  which may not seem that cold to most people. But after living in Florida for many years,  it feels absolutely frigid to me!  I know, I know. I'm a wimp.   Sometimes it actually even dips into the 40's down here.  And that's when I wish I had myself a fabulous vintage winter coat.  So I did some searching and here are the ones I'm fantasizing about wearing during the next cold snap. If I had one of these lovelies to keep me warm,  I might not mind those occasional drops in temperature.

This first one is from the late 40s/early 50s. Flattering "New Look" style in black wool with fantastic black velvet diamond appliques. From Couture Allure Vintage-  $300.00

Love red and love leopard.  An unbeatable combination in this 60's 3/4 length coat from Dorothea's Closet -$155.00

Glamorous 1970s cream color wool coat with fox collar, Lilli Rubin label- at auction on Ebay, but you can scoop it up for $249.00 with a "Buy it Now" - from Northstar Vintage
