When Winter came last year, I went to grab my winter coat, and then suddenly realised that it was no longer practical when you had so many things to carry, and a pram to push. I was well and truly caught out when it started raining one day. I was trying to push the pram whilst attempting to hold an umbrella- well you can imagine how that went, the umbrella was lucky to be coming home with me! Then I had an "I'm all grown up, and I'm a mummy moment." I looked down in the pram and saw MeMe all cosy and warm in her pram, with the rain hood on, whilst I was freezing cold and getting wetter by the minute. Then suddenly appreciating all the things my mum did for me, that I hadn't even thought about until having a child of my own. So yeah, I needed a new coat, and I quickly learnt that a hood was the way forward! I bought a Ted Baker lightweight coat. I thought it was a bit on the expensive side, I think it was about £150, but I certainly got my moneys worth. I'm sure everyone is sick of seeing me in it; I've never had it off, and I'm still wearing it now. Money well spent; I think!
I'm now on the hunt this year, for a slightly warmer one, as I have no idea how I wore it last year when it got so cold?!
I LOVE this one from Zara!! In fact, I think I may have to purchase this one!? I love the fur hooded coats this year, and it's a good job, because they are everywhere. I think its the gold zip that sets it off, and it's a very safe coat that you can just put over the top of anything; jeans, black pants or a dress. It's a nice length too; I'm not very tall, so anything longer would drown me and make me look even smaller.
I hope you like the jackets I've chosen. Have you been searching for a winter coat? Let me know if you know of a good place to buy nice winter jackets from.
Hope you're having a lovely day!
