Dreaming of Coats

I understand that many are sick and tired of all the cold they have been experiencing and I have no reason to complain about ANYTHING here in sunny California.  I get it.  But I still cannot help but be dreaming of coat weather, if only for a weekend.

Perhaps some of these light weight options might get me through the rest of what we are calling "Winter".

Coats

Even though I am a summer girl at heart, there is something exciting about turning in the t-shirts, tanks and flip flops for layers of cozy sweaters, coats and boots.  Cooler weather has been a refreshing change over the last week and with it has come some perusing of warm weather items.  

One item I become overly obsessed with is coats (hence the reason the hubby picked one up for me).  I would live in a cooler climate if only for the reason of having an excuse to own numerous big coats.  I love each Fall season when retailers become inundated with beautiful coats of so many fabrics, styles and textures.  It makes me dream of traveling to cooler weather where I can actually wear them.

Now you see them. Now you don't.

As you all know, I am a HUGE fan of Rag and Bone.  I am typically a fan of everything in their collection.  That being said, every now and then a designer will throw a wrench in their collection and make me say, hmmmmm.  That is exactly what happened when I saw this Rag and Bone Barswood Haircalf and Leather Coat.

But wait!  There's more!  The furry sleeves are detachable!  See how they disappear...

And just so you get the entire view, here is the back (sleeves back on!)...

I have a lot of opinions about fashion, but for this I have no words.  What do you think?   Would you wear this?

Your "Not So Boring" Trench

I absolutely love my trench coat.  I have had it for years and it continues to be a go-to for me.  I am always cold so even in the summer months, I always keep it near by.  This year I am motivated to brighten it up with a new trench with a bit more color.  I have been browsing the internet looking for just the right one when I came across this ASOS '70s Belted Trench.  Perfect.  I just adore the color and the classic style of a trench coat (note: my hubby will adore the price).  Thrown over a tank, some skinnies and flats, I am good to go!  Now the only question is, can it be here by next Wednesday for my trip??

Here are some other styles of blue coats that I thought were also incredibly cute on ASOS....
