Baby, it’s cold outside! Time for a stylish vintage coat.

Monday, November 24th, 2008

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
