What I Wore Wednesday: Kenneth Cole Reaction Purple Coat

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, it's cold in Glasgow. I almost feel bad saying that because I know there is snow back home in Ohio and I didn't even have to scrape my windshield this morning but comparatively it is cold. I can't get away with just a jacket and while most of my 2009 Zara coat has held up well (I lost a button do to pregnancy boobage) it isn't particularly warm enough for shivering at the bus stop.

So after much heckling from my co-workers to put on something warm I decided to get a new winter coat. I'd give you three guesses where I went to look for a new coat but really you'll only need one. Blondie Boy and I headed to TK Maxx who have tons of coats and jackets in store right now. I wasn't entirely sure what style I was going for and had tons to choose from so lucky me when my boy pulled out a coat for me that I loved! That kid has great fashion sense:)


George Square Glasgow Christmas 2013

Blonde Furry Hood


Purple Puffy Coat with Fur Hood-Kenneth Cole Reaction via TK Maxx
Old Navy Turquoise Boatneck Sweater with Button Detail on Shoulder
Old Navy Sweetheart Jeans
Black Studded Pumps- New Look


I love purple and the coat is SO warm. There are sweater cuffs inside the arms so your wrists don't get cold and it is super fluffy and feather-filled. The inside is super soft minky and then of course there is the fabulous detachable faux-fur hood. To top it off there are toggles at the waist so you can cinch it in so you aren't a giant puff ball! 

It is absolutely the perfect winter coat for me and I'm glad Blondie Boy grabbed it and told me to try it on! Normally he'd get in trouble for grabbing stuff off the rails but not this time! To top it all off the coat was reduced/on sale, too!

Also do you see all those lights? My new office is right on the main square in Glasgow so we look out directly onto all the Christmas lights and attractions! It makes going to work and leaving work in the dark a little bit easier to deal with!

Have you gotten a new coat this winter or have you dug out an old favourite?

For me, this winter is old and faithful. I do need to donate a few older ones.Thanks for hosting the link up.. :)

I realised last year that my wool coat with no hood, no matter how stylish, was not going to cut it waiting at the school gate in the rain so I splashed out on a waterproof down filled coat. It certainly wasn't cheap, but it was worth it.

Thanks for letting me link up.

Melaina25 said...

Thanks Ariel!

Melaina25 said...

I know! it's colder back home in Ohio teven when Glasgow is on the same line of latitude as Moscow--I think it is the gulf stream or something that makes it milder here?

Melaina25 said...

Thanks!

Melaina25 said...

I've never had one before but based on what is in stores I seem to be on trend :)

Melaina25 said...

Thanks Rebecca!

Melaina25 said...

I always stick him in the cart at TK Maxx even though I don't really need a cart--just makes it easier to shop!

Melaina25 said...

He totally asked to go to TK Maxx that night but he also will refuse to go shopping sometimes, too.

Melaina25 said...
