Vintage Blue Coat

It sounds silly, right? That I would have: Find the perfect vintage navy wool coat of apparently, my imagination on my Kick the Bucket List. But I have been looking for YEARS — everything has been too large or too furry or too damaged. Or not the perfect shade of blue. Or definitely NOT for appropriate for midwestern winters. Truly, I gave up and wasn’t regularly checking the vintage shops or the online auctions or websites.

I love (and collect) vintage coats (among other things) and was feeling a certain remorse for throwing one away a few years ago (which totally could have been repaired). So, I went to eBay for a little soul-searching. And I FOUND MY DREAM COAT at Mill Street Vintage (that’s their Facebook page, with lots of drool-worthy pictures).

Oh, the cropped sleeves! And the 60s-era swing and, and… *swoon* the curly fur collar and sleeve hems… Bonus: it’s warm, has the cutest closure and is in PERFECT CONDITION. At a mere $65, I totally got a sweet, sweet bargain on this gorgeous piece.
