I really need a new coat, and other things.

[sofiaviolet]

I have a black wool coat whose lining is disintegrating. (Mom did fix it up for me last Christmas, but it is pretty much beyond repair by now.) So what I need, more specifically, is a black wool coat which is large enough to accommodate some sweaters/hoodies under it.

It's black! And wool! And, going by the measurements the seller gave, would fit me perfectly, with room for maybe a single relatively thin sweater under it.

I was outbid at the very last second, so I suppose it doesn't matter. To console myself, I bought this locket instead.

Things I saw on etsy which I really really want but really really shouldn't buy, for one reason or another:


wool interlock handkerchief sleeve coat by sandmaiden
Also probably not the coat my mother wants me to buy. And furthermore, I suspect I would get annoyed with the sleeves, no matter how awesome they look.


long wool skirt by sohomode
I would wear this! It's long enough that I wouldn't even have to remember to shave my legs! I want it sooo much. *pines*

And some things I have purchased...

A few gifts:

Cranes at Bosque by BarbaraCarter
For my uncle.


Chocolate Piggy Bath by WashableArt
For my aunt.


Sea Sisters print by EmilyBalivet
For my mother.

And things I bought for myself:


Morgana necklace by sihaya09
I buy a lot of stuff from sihaya09. This happens to be one of my favorites.


HANDMADE PINK COTTAGE ROSE Focal Bead, Fire-n-Sand Lampwork by giapet
(I actually bought quite a few of these lampwork flower beads: a large black one, one large and two small purple ones, and four small yellow ones.)


Being Royal In The Garden Of Light (to go with some earrings kythryne made for me at a jewelry party.)
AND

Don't Spill The Bubbly
Both from Wyrding Studios.

I like coat chat.

I have a J. Crew black wool coat that I will probably wear for the rest of my life. It was $200+, but it has been incredibly worthwhile.

Mine is pretty much this coat, although last year's cut was a hair different. This one and this one are also particularly sexy. This coat is drop-dead. If I could justify it, I would own it in ember.

Hm. I like the first one and the third one.

That locket you bought is lovely!

I've been keeping it in my etsy favorites for months, and yesterday I just went "gah I'm feeling acquisitive" and bought it. :D
