| Winter coat: Torrid |
This picture does not do it any sort of justice, though. It's more of a dark charcoal and has a nice texture to it.
I like that it is warm without being TOO warm since winters in Atlanta, GA are fairly mild (compared to northern MN where I grew up). It also has nice deeeeep pockets. So far, I've gotten to wear it once this season. :P
It also finally gave me a place to wear some of the pins I've gotten recently.

I've had these for a while but just couldn't figure out a good way to style them with the way I normally dress. I even tried some of Mutant Stomp Friends awesome suggestions but I don't dress the same way. :) I'm a lot less creative with my fashion sense. LOL
The hearse has a hidden details that makes me giggle, though.
What creative things do you do with pins/buttons/badges? I need ideas! :)
I use pins to pin a scarf to my shirt or dress so they don't slip or fall off. You can make interesting draping with pins also.
ReplyDeleteThe coat makes you look like an mib lol. Those are some funky pins to customise the jacket. Unfortunately, where I live I've already got my marshmallow coat on. Saying we've had a few mild winters butI think thia year is going to be exceptionally cold.
ReplyDeleteI went from a cold climate to a warm climate about 10 years ago. i still get excited when we have a "cold" winter here. LOL

ReplyDeleteI rarely wear pins on my clothes. I usually use them to decorate my bags/purses.
That's what I used to do, too, until I got my recent bags. Now I'm just at a loss. :P
DeleteI use pins too and I am going to sew on my Joy Division patch on mine!
ReplyDeleteOoooh! :)
DeleteI envy your Southern winters! I'm curious as to how others wear pins so I'm looking forward to the comments. Thanks for the mention!
ReplyDeleteMe, too! LOL The only time I miss the snowy winters of Minnesota are during the holidays. :)
DeleteWhen I do stuff with pins/patches, it tend to me a theme, rather just random bands or movies that I like. Currently working a vampire themed biker jacket :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea!
DeleteThat hearse pin is to die for!!!!!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteLOL Nice!
DeleteThe hearse pin is too funny! :D It's great that your coat has big pockets. So many ladies' coats have tiny, useless pockets.
ReplyDeleteThat's always been my complaint, too. I had a London Fog when I was a late teen and because it was a men's coat, it had lots of INSIDE pockets. It was nice!
DeleteOoo, that fabric looks wonderful! I love pins, but I don't get to wear them much anymore. Since I moved to Texas I've been living in flowing summer tops, skirts without stockings, and lighter shoes. I hate it.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you! My season for a coat is very short here in Atlanta so I take advantage while I can. At least you don't have too much longer in TX!
