Snowpocalypse
The Seattle “snowpocalypse” seems to be finally letting up for now. The sun is shining, the snow is melting, and it’s supposed to rain tomorrow! I’m so relieved, I can finally get on with normal life! Last week I had to reschedule a hair appointment, and we missed two of Ren’s puppy classes because of the snow!
Anyways, I should have written this post in the beginning of Winter, but better late than never, right? There’s nothing better than having a black puffer coat to wear in the Winter. I wear it pretty much every time I have to step outside. It’s sleek, not too bulky, and you can throw it over whatever you’re wearing. When I was younger, I used to hate coats, and would avoid wearing them. I always said that they ruined perfectly good outfits. I definitely had a point there, albeit a bit dramatic. Honestly, I still feel that way about certain coats, but my black puffer coat is the one exception.
I actually bought this specific coat a few months ago, after my puppy ripped a hole in my old puffer coat (RIP). It’s from one of my favorite brands, Uniqlo. If you follow me on instagram, or have been reading my blog for a while, you’ve probably seen me talk about Uniqlo before. I discovered them while I was in Japan this past September, and was thrilled to find that they have a store near me, plus you can shop online! I was really impressed with the high quality of their products, and how affordable their prices are!
Coat Details
My coat comes in five different colors, and is just under $100 before tax. For something you wear almost every day during an entire season, that cost is well beyond worth it. The design is sleek, so you won’t look like a big puffy marshmallow. It’s lightweight, but manages to keep you nice and warm. If you’re in the market for a new winter coat, I can’t recommend this one enough! It also runs true to size! I’m wearing a medium, which is the size I usually wear in a coat.
