I live in New England and somehow I get less and less tolerant of the cold every year. I've been looking for a warm and stylish coat that ACTUALLY keeps me warm. Well, I found it!! And I don't know how I've lived without it. I'm on the short side (5ft) so it comes down below my knees, but I don't look like I've been swallowed. It's everything I've been looking for to comfortably hang outside!
