I bought a military inspired coat recently, mainly because I got it for $24 (originally $160!) at a warehouse style. A couple coats I've been wearing lately though are is a thick brown cape-style coat I have, and a brown/dark green coat I bought in the men's section at H&M over the summer. -
I gotta go buy myself a military jacket soon! It's finally cooling down in Cali.

I am in love with the Cocoon coat! So precious! But, to be honest...I don't think my closet can afford another coat. I swear I have over 20 fall and winter coats (and I donate at least 1 or 2 every year). Hmm...maybe I can donate more to make room for another? Uh-oh...I don't think my bank account can afford any more either haha.
Stay Classy!

My favorite are the military inspired coats. With movies like 007 and having just rented Abraham Lincoln Vampire Slayer, I feel the need to look like a kick booty chick! :)
