Proof that a good coat is timeless....

I love the little reminders we get that validate our indulgences :-).   Yesterday our weather had a turn and it was significantly cooler and very rainy.  I had short sleeves on and felt a little bare....so what did I pull out of my closet you ask?  I whipped out a Beth Bowley coat, circa 2004 I think, and wore it to my meeting.  It looked great (I still love that coat) and it managed to solicite two compliments in the short time I wore it (the rain and cool weather was gone by afternoon thankfully)!  Anyway, it reminded me that good pieces stay good a LONG time....those jackets that have something special about them and a relatively classic silhouette will be in your closet for ages and will always look good.  I remember pondering whether I really "needed" this jacket when I bought it years ago--and I definitely remember pondering the price.  The silhouette is simple, but the detailing is punchy and color is bright...it makes a statement without being over the top.  Lucky for me I did indulge back then and now I continue to love it years later.   Signed, ME {lv}
