I've never had a real winter coat before; I've never been able to bring myself to spend £60 on something to keep me warm, when layering up a few jumpers from the charity shop can do the job just as well. However, this year I have found myself lusting after a lot of coats. I think now that I'm 18 the adult thing to do is to invest in a good quality coat that will see me through the many cold, dark Winters ahead (if not only to stop my mum saying "Aren't you going to be cold?!", every time I leave the house).
The top of my wishlist is a fur coat with cat ears from ASOS. Don't ask me why, I just really think I need a fur coat with cat ears in my life. Whilst the idea of snuggling up inside something so fluffy is totally glorious, I have a heartbreaking feeling that white fur might not be the most practical of materials to wear during a wet Winter. Therefore, I might have to plump for a classic Topshop parka. They're durable, timeless, and easy to style. The only thing stopping me indulging in one is the fact that all 16 year old hipsters are running around in them at the moment, and so looking at parkas can make me a little bit ansty.
I added the long fur coat and the blazer because I thought they were pretty, and if minimum wage was a little higher I'd like to purchase all of these. For now I shall sit patiently and wait for an ASOS or Topshop promo code to fall in to my lap so that I can pick one of these up guilt-free.
Curly Faux Fur Coat with Cat Ears - ASOS, £56 // Hooded Lightweight Jacket - Topshop, £60.00 // Long Fur Coat - Zara, £79.99 // Standout Blazer Jacket - Forever21, £27.75.
What do you think I should go for - parka or fur? What style of coat are you wearing this Winter?
