Do you know Popski? They have a few coats like that atm, not cheap but good value IMO. My only problem with them are the colours (for me).

I like the leather and sheepskin?/fur? Very 1970s, but you can definitely get those from vintage shops and E_bay. I have sold a ton.
It was fun. My friends had just gotten a NEW PUPPY! I almost tucked him in the bag to steal.
Maybe a year or so ago, I got really into green. It's not my best color (BLUE!!) but it's soothing.
I hope I'm not age-plaining but I think it's more because the word 'old', 'ageing' or 'matronly' or whatever is used in a derogatory way. if someone is old and people are saying I don't want to look like that, it's probably hard not to take it personally. Even saying someone looks good for their age is really a backhanded compliment IMO.
What's so great about looking young, or old, or anything? Whats not to love either? People just want to look great and especially don't want to disappear (become invisible) or be ridiculed either, and that's why we all have to be careful of our language.
I haven't been wearing my Moto jacket recently, but if I do, I always remind myself to be careful with those zips and any silk.

Great story.This reminds me, when my daughter was born, my mother came with these traditional baby gear, hand knitted and embroidered and using the most beaufufil soft white pique fabric. She then said casually, oh that fabric, I got it from my old Courreges dresses from the 60s...
I could have died...
Funnily, she was also a outwear addict. She was a very minimal dresser otherwise, carefully choosing any additions to her wardrobe and ensuring everything went together. But she got at least a new proper coat every season. She justified it because during half the year, most of her social life took place in a coat, so that (and a handbag) was the most important investment
Me neither. Once I saw it I hit BUY IT NOW.
Thanks - me too! I am sucker for contrast hems, contrast lining, contrast stitching.
Someday you ladies should make your guys post here. That would be so hilarious.Mr. PG is an Aries, for whatever that's worth. He has a line he uses in social settings when the conversation gets around to horoscopes. He says "I don't believe in the zodiac. But then again, I'm an Aries, and Aries don't believe in the zodiac." Some folks crack up (which is his intent, of course) and some look at him, like… huh?
Did I mention that Mr. PG has an understated sense of humor???
Thank you!
I agree, lovely garden party!The pop of cobalt inside is such a lovely contrast to the olive exterior.
Beautiful card holders!
Thanks! I carried it again this morning, without wine....
Good point - I didn't think of that, but you're right. (I just bought it in December 2019.)
Thanks. And I think you just nailed the color names.The pop of cobalt inside is such a lovely contrast to the olive exterior.
