The sleeves on my wool winter coat were worn thin, but I figured if the following winter was equally mild then I wouldn't need a new coat. I loved that winter coat, a chocolate brown Calvin Klein with a shawl collar. I would pull the tie closed around my waist and the wool reached down mid-thigh. A friend knitted a bright pink scarf that I could wrap around my neck. It was the perfect bright accessory to the dark coat.
I determined to avoid buying a new coat last year. With global warming, and if we had a winter like the one the year before, I figured I could simply layer sweaters.
But last year was much colder. I ended up wearing my coat with the sleeves worn thin, much too often.
This fall, I hoped for a warm winter again, but winter tore into Ohio in November and hasn't let up. On Tuesday, I finally got a new winter coat.
Just in time because today the temperatures dropped to zero, following yesterday's six inches of snow. If I ever needed a winter coat, this is the time.

You look lovely in your new coat! Stay warm & Happy New Year!
Cute coat! We are in a severe weather warning here with temps to 35 below over the weekend.
We're going through the same thing up here in Michigan. Keep as cozy as you can -- even with a fab coat it isn't that easy!
Great coat. Classic plaid. I love plaid. I've been thinking of a new coat too, but I always have trouble finding one to fit. If it fits my larger hips, it is too big through the shoulders and the arms are too long. Bummer!
I got a new coat last week, a padded one, I don't think I would be warm enough in one like yours , and we don't have 0 temps here , well not yet.
I too am looking for a new coat. Can't find one I like anywhere! May go downtown today and look!
I like yours "houndstooth" is that what they call the pattern?
This winter is brutal. We are experiencing a flash freeze I made in thru the slush and puddles but tonight will be
another story, hopefully the salters and plows do their jobs!
