New Winter Coat

I have wanted a purple coat ever since....well, ever since I knew I was going to be a TCU fan 'til I lay in my grave someday. This winter, I got my chance when I spotted this jacket a few weeks ago, and when I saw it, I knew: This was The Coat for me.

It arrived yesterday (I bought it online) and I didn't love it at first (maybe because I had just gone running and tried it on in my running clothes; not so flattering), but when I put it on this morning, it looked great! It's also not extremely warm, which is a very good thing since I plan to be living in Texas for most of the remaining winters of my life, where a very warm coat just isn't necessary 11 1/2 months out of the year.

In case you're wondering...this coat was definitely a splurge, but it was also worth it. I plan to wear it to every cold TCU football game for as long as I can. What do you plan on splurging for this winter?

It is very cute, especially on you! I think we have done enough splurging for now, but if we do, we will probably get some new Wii games.
