Hello friends!
So, remember back a ways, when I was telling you about some of my favorite pieces from my own wardrobe, a la Colette Sewing Handbook? I told you about my
Hunting Skirt and my
Bikes & Top Hats Sorbetto. Well, next up, my favorite Plum Peacoat from Macy's.
I first saw this coat in the Macy's window while strolling down Main St. one early fall afternoon two years ago. I drooled. And then I drooled some more. Then I took my roommate to see the coat in the window. Then I showed the boyfriend. Then I gushed about it some more to my roommate. Then my roommate dragged me into the store, made me try it on, and then made me buy it. True story.
As I mentioned in my last post, the boyfriend (he's so great!) he generously helped me take some photos around town while we were on a nice little saturday afternoon walking date. So, while I show you pictures of the coat, I thought I'd show you a few fun pictures from around my adorable little town. You don't mind, do you?

Plum awesome! |

Ok, how fantastic are those buttons?! |

A 'bikes & top hats' underneath for good measure! |

The boyfriend (who oh so wonderfully took these photos for me!) |

So hard to get a non-blurry photo when no one is behind the camera! |
 |
My favorite part of this coat is the second hem! I love how the coat ends, and then 'surprise!' there is another bottom waiting to peek out! (Oh, and I'm standing in front of one of the winery tasting rooms) |

Our great little candy shop, Brights! |

Gigantic lolli! |

So there you have it! My favorite peacoat, and a few little glimpses of my home :)
So proud!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I love this coat too! I can't believe you needed someone else to tell you to buy it . . . lol. Anyway, this is truly a great piece to include in your favorite pieces collection, hopefully it inspires some great handmade pieces for your wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I found you from MySewingCircle (since we are friends on that site, I decided to check out your blog).
Ooh, I'm so glad you checked out my blog! Thanks :) I've been following yours for quite a while! I've been so so blessed to find wonderful blogs that I can learn from and be inspired by!
DeleteThe coat really is wonderful! :) I just needed that extra nudge of someone to say "really? really montana... you're debating on whether or not to buy THAT coat!?"

Totally worthwhile - the coat is GORGEOUS! The colour suits you wonderfully and the detailing is super-cute :)
