So… this coat.  Mara Hoffman, from four years ago.  It was a major splurge at the time.  Still a big splurge now, but more of an “I’m not going to be able to eat” splurge back then.  My ex boyfriend hated this coat.  I mean, basically, if I flip the hood up, I look like a dementor from Harry Potter.  Also it adds an instant 5-10 lbs.  But I never really cared.  This coat is something you wear for you – or for your girlfriends.  Girls love this coat, and it is the comfiest.  It also is incredibly warm, and helped me out quite a bit during last week’s weather antics.

Full disclosure:  when I walked to work in this, I wore boots… but the heels were so much cuter for photos (and the office, once I got there.)

  2. Well boys are just silly when it comes to certain articles of clothing and that’s that! The coat is gorgeous, worth a splurge, and timeless. You look stunning and anyone who says differently needs to have their eyesight/head checked.

    I had something similar happen to me. I still wore the coat and still have it. If it’s warm, and you like it, then who the heck cares.
    By the way, you look great.

  12. I have a coat very similar. It makes me look about two sizes larger than I am, but I feel super glam in it.

  19. I’m been dying for a camel wrap coat but all the ones I am looking at are sooo out of my price range! Glad to hear that yours was a worth it purchase (even if your ex didn’t like it). You look great!
