In Search of a Winter Coat

The recent snowpocalypse has made me realize I lack a key winter garment - a coat. After the great parka purge I went on a few years ago, I refused to buy another winter coat because I was tired of looking like the Michelin Man. Now that it is 4 degrees outside, I'm starting to rethink that stance. Currently, I am eyeing some coats by Columbia.

• Omni-Shield® finish sheds moisture.
• 500-fill-power down insulation keeps you warm.

Fall Coats

There's a nip in the air, which means it is time to start reaching for a fall coat that will keep you warm until the snow falls.

This Red Rover Coat from ModCloth is perfect for a date or to add a little sass on your way to the office.

The Prairie Underground Long Cloak Hoodie from Tobi makes a great weekend look.

Have a movie night and complete your outfit with the Twilight Jacket from FredFlare.

The Belstaff® leather bomber jacket from J. Crew looks great with jeans but can, also, toughen up a floaty dress.
