Vintage Winter Warmers

I love winter.  I don't like being cold, but I do like rugging up, and my vintage coat collection is just the ticket to keep me toasty in the moths to come.

I've never bought a 'good' coat.  I could never justify the money for an item that I would most likely be sick of after a few months.  I tire of things rather quickly, especially if my choice is limited.  Gosh I must sound quite spoiled!  I think it has more to do with my [undiagnosed] OCD / ADD or whatever neurosis I suffer from!  Therefore my motto is:  Why limit yourself to just one good coat, when you can have many!  Vintage coats allow me to have great quality, unique coats at a fraction of the price I'd expect to pay for a new one.

I recently culled my vintage collection to just seven coats.  Don't for one minute think I am being sensible; I culled the tatty, well worn items in order to open up some cupboard space should another vintage gem take my fancy.
