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.)

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.
Screw him, this coat rocks! You look gorgeous, my dear!!

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

Adore this coat and style. Looks so warm and comfortable.
LOVE this coat! Men just don’t understand fashion sometimes. My boyfriend is still not on board with my leather pants/skirts!
Looooove this coat. Boys just don’t understand.

That coat is absolutely divine! Your ex was silly!!!
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!
