Since Miami will never ever require this type of coat, well I don’t own one . Any coats that I had when I did live in the big Apple , I left behind. So now I like to arrive to the city with no coat , find an amazing deal at a consignment shop the second I arrive and when It’s time to go back to my tropical city , I leave the coat hanging in my sister in law’s closet, and it sits there patiently waiting for the next time I come into town! Talk about loyalty! How perfect is that!?

I don’t even remember the name of the shop. But I do remember It was a thrift shop somehere uptown.

I tried on 7 other coats but this was the winner ! Perfect size , color , fabric & length! Here is one way I wore it in the daytime :

And in the nighttime I closed it up all the way, went for a more elegant scarf which I wore tucked inside the coat and traded the boots for some pumps.
