How To Wear A Vintage Coat
You can close your mouth now. Haha Do you like this coat as much as I do? The minute I saw this coat, I fell in love. This was one of the outfits in the vintage fashion show that was held in Atlanta. Since the coat was being worn by a model in the show, it would be priced, and then open for bids. Sometimes, you are lucky and no one else bids against you. I was not that lucky with this coat. The model wearing it really wanted it, and kept telling me to be quite. Like that was going to happen. Lol! Well, you can see who came home with the coat 🙂
I was just thrilled to actually get to wear this coat, or any coat for that matter, Sunday morning. It has been so warm lately, it hasn’t felt very much like Christmas. Well, this morning it was 26 outside, and felt VERY much like Christmas.
My husband tolerates my vintage finds. He is not the biggest fan of vintage clothing, but he could not quit bragging about this coat. The fur around the coat and hat is fluffy and really, really soft. My husband even had to feel the fur. He didn’t believe me when I told him it was vintage.
So, I of course had to show him the label.
Warren of Stafford was a textile mill that was in business for 160 years. The tweed material is beautiful. I bet the next time I tell you that we are having a vintage fashion show, you will want to come. As long as you don’t bid against me, your invited. Lol!
I had on gloves, black with brown fur cuffs, but I could not work the camera while I wore the gloves. You will just have to use your imagination. My coat for church, and a huge fire in the fireplace all day, was how I stayed warm. Well, that and a big glass of eggnog.

Beautiful coat! Loving that collar! I promise I would not bid against you on the coat – even though I’d be tempted to – but can’t make any promises about the hat! Ha! – Glad you brought home such a great find for yourself! WTG!
Thanks, Betty. I think the hat is what cost me so much. After I got the coat, I HAD to get the hat. Hahaha
Not surprised you wanted it, it is gorgeous!!!!x
I love vintage too, so this coat really rocks my boat! You look so happy which isn’t surprising as you look fantastic in this. Well done with your bidding – it was definitely worth it (whatever “it” was).
