Too Many Coats? Never!

Awhile back I promised a blog entry on my recommendations for selection of that VERY important wardrobe item, the coat. So here it is, just not on the FSC blog.

Check out my guest post at Oliver & Lilly's for the details. And if you're in Vancouver, set yourself up with some outerwear-finery from O&L's (like the unbelievably adorable coat featured above)!

Let's Discuss: Coats

Yes, I realize it's the end of July. In Canada, this means it's time to gear up for winter.

The most important wardrobe item this, and every fall? The coat.

I am a life long lover of the coat. My closets are full of them. Different options for every season. Fall coats, deep-dark-winter coats, formal coats, just-running-to-the-store coats - you name it, I've got it. It's not my shopaholic tendencies that have filled my front hall closet with coats - it's laziness.

You see, a great coat covers a myriad of evils. A great coat is the piece people notice when you're running errands in your painting clothes. A great coat, along with your most fabulous shades, will disguise your no makeup day and you'll look fabulous.

So now I have you thinking about coats, watch this blog for what to look for when buying one. Hint: start looking (and shopping) now.
