Winter coats and jackets

[UNiQFashionista]

who makes that coat? and boots for that matter?

 

[HYZE]

I need a versatile winter coat that isn't boring... To go over dresses and skinnies...
It's for my Christmas Honeymoon!
I can't afford anything TOO expensive... does anyone have any ideas?

Burlington Coat Factory is always nice.

They have great coats for low prices.

I don't know if you are from USA, though.

I love those NorthFace jackets everybody wears, but I want something different to stand out. IDK what I should get that's at a reasonable price.

[Babypink920]

Yeah.

I've always got my coat from there.

Good for people who want to be stylish but stick to a budget.

I think part of what we're talking about here is the ethics of consumerism ...

I believe the choices we make as individuals, even and perhaps especially how we spend our money, are very powerful. Reading through tFS, you can see a wide variety of choices people are making, and few of us are 'perfect' ... whatever that may be.

Buying at the higher end often has social value, as often (not always, I'm sure) the people who make the goods have better working conditions and wages--some of the Italian workshops sound quite idyllic, in fact!

My own view is that I want to think about the bigger picture, and not assume that being relatively well off (in terms of the country where I live and the world) entitles me to anything I can lay my hot little hands on

There's this lovely little mom and pop restaurant with a lunch buffet where I go sometimes, and it has a little sign that says "Please, take only what you will eat." For me, the world has a sign that says "Please, take only what you will use." So that's what I try to do. And when I do buy something, I try to make sure I've chosen something that will last, and that was created in the best way possible. Not only is it much friendlier to the planet when I buy something that will last (like my Burberry trench--22 years now I believe!), but it's respectful of my time. I've taken the time to choose something I really liked, and I don't want my time to be wasted.

That's how I see the world ... but I realize not everyone is going to see it the same.

very well said!

Looks wonderful.

I went to the website and saw a nice coat with a furry hood that looked nice.

Looks cute. A good example of a down coat that doesn't make you look like the Michelin man ...

William St Girl, I don't know what your budget is but saw a DIVINE medium purple coat (sort of A-line trench woolen trench coat with a tie belt) last week. Sonia by Sonia Rykiel in Selfridges.
