It's 100% wool and it's really, really heavy and warm. After that job the coat got some neglect... it was missing two of the four front boring black buttons (embarrassing!) and desperately needed to be de-fuzzed and sweater-shaved a bit from sitting in the closet so long. (truth be told, it could still probably use a trip to the dry-cleaners!)
Any way... long story short... I wanted to spruce the jacket up on the cheap and was inspired by this gorgeous coat from J.Crew. So I simply picked up some gold buttons for only $6 at the fabric store (similar to the ones from J.Crew) and then took the coat and the buttons to a tailor. The tailor put the new buttons on for only $15. And voila! It was only $21 to completely re-vamp the look of this old coat! I love it now! Gone are the days of it not being used, for sure.
Also, OMG, how long is my hair here!?!? These are pictures from a week or so ago - I got like four inches cut off right before Vegas... pictures coming soon!

- I just added a "books!" page with my favorite reads... I've been meaning to compile all my favorite books in one spot. I'm starting with this year and I'll go back year by year - so check back often for book recos!
