My Favorite Winter Coats

It may seem strange for me to be writing a post on winter coats because I live in Las Vegas.  We really don’t need many winter coats in the desert, but a winter coat is something that everyone should have no matter what climate you live in.  Whether you take a trip up to the mountains or have a chilly day, it’s always good to have a nice winter coat.  When looking for a winter coat you want to find something that fits your style, is practical and will also last you for years to come.  I have 2 favorite styles of coats in my closet that fit all of my criteria.  So today I want to share with you my favorites.  

Fur Hooded Parka Jacket
My black faux fur hooded parka jacket is my favorite winter coat ever!  I bought it about 5 years ago when I was still living in Michigan from Old Navy.  I can’t remember the exact price, but I know I bought it on sale for under $30.  At first, I was worried that buying a cheap winter coat would be a mistake because it wouldn’t keep me warm enough, but I was wrong.  This coat helped me survive 2 of the coldest winters I can remember.  I have only worn it a couple times since I moved to Las Vegas, but I always hold on to it, because I never know when I’m going to be in a cold place. 

Pea Coat
My second favorite style of a winter coat has always been a double-breasted button pea coat.  They look so classic. I have a couple pea coats in my closet, but this blue plaid pea coat is my favorite.  I love the cut and I love the pattern.  It’s also an Old Navy coat, but I bought it at Savers for $4.
