the jacket police

above coats from soia & kyo, toast, and banana republic

jordan likes to make fun of me for being a member of the jacket police.  when it warms up a little bit, denverites hit the streets in t-shirts and shorts.  without thinking about it, i point out how he and he and she are inappropriately dressed.  i think it's because my mother always made me wear a jacket until it was almost 100 degrees outside that it now bothers me when i see someone in a t-shirt on a 50 degree day (even if the sun is shining).  i've tried leaving my coat in the car on sunny days and most of the time i end up immediately regretting the decision and shivering through our errands. 

i am old.  florida is beckoning.

 

all above coats from top shop

my sister comes in tonight so i may be absent for a few days.

i hope she packed her coat.

I too love being warm. I wore thermal today... even though the sun was shining, and everyone was in tshirts. For me, being cold is being cranky!

You are not old, but you should move to the beach :) The beach is good. A warm beach. With tropical drinks and floral tunics over floral bathing suits with ruffles :) Oh yes, that is what I am talking about....xxox

No, I'm totally with you, you're not old at all... or maybe you are and I am too?? xo lj

hi Risa,

i Haven't been to see you for ages.

I just bought a jacket..stylish and waterproof.. here in the northern part of Australia, jackets are rarely seen on for longer than 5 min. Too hot!

Those jackets are gorgeous, Topshop is probably my most favourite shop ever, I just cannot walk past without 'having a quick look' which usually ends with me being -£50.
I have to say that I'm quite the opposite - I hate wearing a coat. However I think thats just coz I don't really like any of my coats, if I had one of these things would be different!

Coats... I love them. I'd wear them all year round if I could.

I have a variation of that first coat and it is *toasty*! Lined in brushed cotton so even though it's got a lightweight shell, it's plenty warm.

Yay!! Thank you for getting a penny playlist!! I am excited to send it to you!

[julie]

I hope you have a lovely time (knitting) with your sister xx
