* Bought mine from an antique mall in the mountains in New Mexico for $20 and she’s so elegant and unique. It’s lined with the most realistic synthetic fur I’ve ever seen and is so incredibly warm but not bulky. I linked princess coat listings on 1stDibs.
* I also have a J Crew perfect winter parka for when I don’t care about having dignity, like if I’m walking my dog or going out into the snow/sleet because it’s not floor length like my other coat and it’s waxed cotton. apparently it’s been discontinued but you can still find them on eBay or Poshmark or whatever. And probably any of their other parkas are good…
* would also suggest layering heat retaining undershirts and pants like Uniqlo heat tech or the ones from 32 degrees + fleece-lined tights…
My ex kinda-girlfriend found this for me on a goodwill trip. I change out the pins often. It’s thin enough that I can easily layer my elaborate outfits underneath but bulky and long enough that I feel put together and warm. LOVE THIS SHIT!
