Pre YLF I never thought a longer puffer coat can be stylish on AND work for me! (I still have a short one in white for sports and casuals. But Angie's seasonal posts from last and this year inspired me to give it a try.

I have a LBC (little black coat) of wool, with black fur shawl collar-but it's 4 years old now, and wanted a change witouth sacrifying the sleek silouette and the dressiness in a smarter style. In fact, looking at these picties, I have to say, the wool coat doesn't have any of a great, sleek siloutte anymore at all, as used it a lot in the car, and is starting beeing baggy in the back, if you now what I mean.

So, here it is,her royalty, THE. PUFFER. COAT.
I like it so much!
-It's matte black and has black hardware.
-It's so clever cut (I think tapperring in a bit at hems rather than going A line is more flattering for me).
-It has a snap closure, and don't have patch pockets which can add lot of bulk (just simple upward pockets, wich you even can close with snaps if not using)
-It has a stylish self belt with buckle, placed a bit higher then I would like but decided it still works
-It has an oversized hood (so happy I can protect my do without squeezing it under a hat) which actually acts like a big collar on front, but has a tie onthe back similar like the belt for mantaining it flat (on my back).

Hope you'll like it too. DO you?

Thus, I do have a very very small complain...it's swishing a lot:-))...and this can be a bit annoying for me, as I am a hearing aids wearer- but I didn't realized this until haven't worn it on a daily basis. I think will get used to it, soon.

Last 3 picties were my favourite new black/beige gloves: balck suede on palm, and beige tweed on the other side which were so so sweet and beeing a bit chuncky worked so so well with my puffer coat and both of my favourite scarves this season . Gloves had little leather buckles, too, on front---it was love at first sight, but

unfortunatelly I have lost them second day after wearring'em new!!!

Too bad I cannot find another pair in my size, so really mourning them:-((

But Oh well, I guess we cannot have everything!:-))
(sorry for beeing so long, thanx for taking time for reading and comments)
