Well DD chose Boston College for her graduate studies and the mother in me is springing into action.... How is my southern daughter going to manage a drastically colder winter????

I decided to look for a longer coat as she has a great ski jacket, but nothing to the knee level...I looked at Lands End and Eddie Bauer... DD hates everything about the puffer coats and would rather freeze than put one on...

So , we found what I hope is a great althernative and after reading the comments from northerners that said it worked well for this coldest of season's that just past, we are giving it a go...Great price, too, which is why I wanted to buy now!!!!

She is 5'4 and it will fit her at the knee unlike the model....
