I know I probably shouldn’t be complaining, but it’s COLDDD. Not snow-on-the-ground, can’t-feel-my-face cold, but still cold enough where getting out of bed seems like the worst idea ever, and jumping out of a hot shower into a cold bathroom takes serious mental preparation.
Maybe it’s because I’m getting *GASP* older, but when I could once run around town in 30 degree temps in a skirt and sweater, I now look like I’m bundled up to go on a 13 day journey through the Himalayas if the temperature drops below 60.
That being said, I’m constantly on the lookout for cool outerwear in plus sizes. This coat from Missguided’s new plus size line checks all the boxes! It’s got great details (hello quilted faux leather sleeves), is roomy enough to layer under, and is statement-making enough to carry a look all on it’s own. After all, no one sees what you’re wearing underneath!
I paired the coat with a pair of over-the-knee boots I snagged from Lane Bryant at a whopping 50% off during Black Friday, and the fuzziest, shearling, teddy-bear-reminiscent backpack I’ve ever laid eyes on. If only I could crawl inside it and take a nap right now!

What do you guys gravitate toward most as temperatures drop? I can’t believe what a wimp I’ve become about the cold–at least this means I get to bundle up in cute coats and oversized scarves! 😀

Thank you! 🙂
the coat and bag combination is tre chic!…thanks for sharing; now i have a new retail obsession
Aw, yay, thanks! 😀 Glad you like, and that I could enable the shopping monster just a little bit! 😉
I completely agree — anything below 65 is sweater weather (probably with boots, a coat, and a scarf). I think living in LA has made me weak. Love the coat!
lol! YAY So Cal solidarity! We're so spoiled by year-round sun! 😀

Dear Lady,
I would be extremely honored to be your shoeshiner to look after your boots (likewise OTK and thigh high boots). Be sure that I would work hard, and do a really great work on them, so that you have always highly shiny beautiful leather boots. Just sit quietly in my comfortable chair, and look at me slog on your boots, effortlessly for you.
Your humble servant
Yours truly
