A Warm Coat That Doesn't Give You The Cold Shoulder!

 I am at the pharmacy, strep has run through the kids and this is about my 50th time to CVS.  But, now I'm getting a prescription for me because somehow the laws of the universe broke and now I have it.   Anyhoo, he hands me my prescriptions and I ask "Does this need to be refrigerated?".  Our pharmacist looks at me and replies "No, Mrs. Tyner, they're pills".  Duh.
I have the mental capacity of a circus poodle about now, thank you.

The good thing is that I "happened" to find one of my Christmas gifts and immediately put it on.  It is freezing and I *need* it.  It is also about the most adorable, well fitting coat ever in the whole wide world of coats!
I have long gorilla arms that are only good for hugging people and playing volleyball....NOT finding coats.  By the time I find one with long enough sleeves, 3 of me could fit into the rest of it.  I do not particularly like puffer coats either because I feel like a penguin and walk like one too.   
 Then I found this coat at Coldwater Creek! 
YAY!  It is warm & sleeveless, but I don't have a cold shoulder.  It has adjustable straps on the side that are ever so cute and the color is dreamy.  The most important thing is the fur collar. I am a sucker for faux fur!!!  This is me yesterday when I stopped by to pass on some germs to Joy and take her picture for the blog.

Joy laughed because she said my hair is the same color as the fur collar! lol

 This is also one of my favorite hats which I tend to wear when am sick because it hides bedhead!
The coat is current so go buy one!!!  They are luscious!

Just in case you need the coat also....because you do....here is the link:
And right now they have 25% off and free shipping!

Now on to today!  I am back at work and wearing green and chocolate brown!  I love the colors together.  For some fun I added my kitten heel shoes from Target which are not only comfy, but so chic!  WinWin!

 I am feeling a bit "Mad Men" today which is totally me.  But almost every piece came from Coldwater Creek (and on sale right now). I also threw on a fur collar that I "stole" from another sweater.
A vintage pin holds it in place.

I don't look happy!  Probably because I just had to take another pill the size of a Prius! 
Isn't there some type of size limit? 

I can hear the chemists now:
"Do you think we made these pills too large?"
"Why no, Mrs. Tyner can fit in a Prius, so I am sure she can swallow one"
(and I do own a log-splitter in case I need to cut them in half)
"
 Way cute tights and shoes!
Sweater:  Coldwater Creek- sale
Pencil skirt:  Coldwater Creek- sale
Shoes: Target
Tights: Old Navy (last year)

PS.
I had to show you my makeup bag that I got in the mail from Sephora!
It is so so cute and the compact is wonderful to use and look at.


OK, I am done. But I am glad to be back!!! I missed Blogville!

  15. Viktoria-Thanks! This is my new fav color right now. I wore it last night with jeans and a bright pink scarf and it look good with that also. And...Double pink eye??!!?? You poor thing! I am sending get well wishes to you!

    Silvergirl: It would not stay clean for long *sigh*. Be careful where you sit when wearing it.
    I think whatever I sat it will wash out. lol
    I love your silver hair so much! You and Joy can Never color your hair!!!!

    Frances Joy: Thanks! Leopard print + kitten heels= love. ok, anything that is kitten heel.

    Pam- I never used to shop there, but now am finding some pieces that you can have a lot of fun with! And have you been to the on-line outlet? FUN! Thanks for reading our blog!

    Kelly: Thanks for having me as your girl Friday! It was a lot of fun. And thanks for the compliment. Silver eyeliner makes me look awake and not so sick :)

    shealannon: Thanks for coming by the blog. I am starting to fell better (must be the nice things people here say).

    Anne: I feel your pain! And I (until recently) was such a shoe snob. Mostly because I hate for my feet to hurt! However, these are actually quite comfy (not Nike comfy, but comfy). Your comment made me laugh which is always nice.

    Joyce: I glad you noticed the brown shoes! They are some of my favorites (they show up in a lot of pictures). The funny thing is that the come from a place called "Show Show" and were $15.99. But they have this great gold buckle and strap and I can walk all day in them.
