Coming from a part of the country that doesn’t really have a Winter (Florida) and currently living in a city that has only mild Winters (Atlanta), I’ve never really gotten used to the idea of wearing a coat. In fact, even when it is really cold, I’d rather layer tons of sweaters/scarves so that I don’t HAVE to wear a coat.
That being said, I’ve recently come to believe that in spite of all these qualifications, I really do need a nice Winter coat. And when and if I decide to buy one, it will be by Soia & Kyo – a Canadian designer duo available at Tobi, and other places online. I love their chic, flattering styles, and fabulous prices (tops out at $374). My favorite is the short red belted coat (I love red lately…) for cold days and the long twill trench coat (at the bottom) for not-so-cold days…
