the plaid coat

coat: banana republic (last season) // jeans: gap // scarf: h&m // boots: aldo (old) 

Well my friends, I think it's time to accept the winter situation I have been placed in. It's not going away and I'm not going away anytime soon so acceptance is key! I don't like sacrificing style in the snow so a fun coat always brightens up my day. My boyfriend got this for me for Christmas last year at Banana Republic after I literally almost fainted from seeing it on the hanger (he's a keeper that's for sure!). Nothing screams winter and the holidays quite like a plaid coat. I really don't know why I didn't debut it last year on the blog but here it is now! 

Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone, hopefully you have less snow than I do! 

Also the boyfriend and I just celebrated 5 years of dating yesterday, I seriously cannot believe it's been that long! Thank you for putting up with me and all my craziness! I love you so much xo

  1. You're so freaking beautiful Melanie! I'm ultra jealous of your coat because I eyed it on the Banana Republic website for MONTHS without pulling the trigger, and now I totally regret not doing it. It's SO beautiful and perfect for the season! And I love the red lips with it! I can't believe how much snow you guys have over there!

    Happy anniversary to you and your boy!
