I remember growing up I always had at least two different coats; school/play coat and church/dress coat. I prefered wearing my dress coat everyday all day. I assume it was because that's when I felt the prettiest. There are some girls who don't like to dress up, but that wasn't me. My favorite dress/church coat from my chica days was a black and white houndstooth coat with a bright red scraf. I knew I was the best thing on two legs with my black patent leather mary janes and white tights to boot!

Well, while continuing my seasonal hunt for coats I noticed the vast majority of dress coats. When I say dress coats I don't neccesarily "dress coats", but coats that actually look like dresses! I think I am in love!

This Mui Mui coat is a really adorable example of the dress coats that I have been seeing. Normally, if I saw a dress like this, I would turn my nose up at because it looks to frumpy, but if it had a back like this I would snatch it up in a heartbeat. I love this coat! Paired with some tall boots and tall gloves....ooh, I think I am about to faint!

COAT OF THE DAY

This Burberry Prorsum Lace coat could also fall into the category of a coat designed to look like a dress, a shirtdress that is! The bone buttons and scalloped cuff, collar, and hem are lovely details! Burberry+bone buttons+lace+silk jersey lining=$$$$$!

Stay Stylish!
