Like the color options and details. A coat that works for your activity and the day’s weather is a big help, as is some variety in a long winter. Your hats are smile inducing, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-found-my-everyday-winter-coat-and-2-new-hats#post-2242190 Tue, 07 Dec 2021 01:19:09 +0000 CarolS 2242190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Sal , Firecracker, and Helena!</p> <p>Firecracker, I didn't even think about how they would work with a mask! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-found-my-everyday-winter-coat-and-2-new-hats#post-2242187 Tue, 07 Dec 2021 00:45:11 +0000 Helena 2242187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-found-my-everyday-winter-coat-and-2-new-hats#post-2242186 Tue, 07 Dec 2021 00:17:43 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2242186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great coat! I like the lines of it--both the style lines and the quilting lines. Also super cute hats. After Angie's post about beanies, I was thinking that the drawback to them is being able to pop a mask on and off easily when you go inside a place of business. It seems to me ear flaps are more useful for pandemic attire. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-found-my-everyday-winter-coat-and-2-new-hats#post-2242184 Tue, 07 Dec 2021 00:10:55 +0000 Sal 2242184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great coat and very fun cute hats.&nbsp; Love the smiles too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-found-my-everyday-winter-coat-and-2-new-hats#post-2242130 Mon, 06 Dec 2021 15:57:21 +0000 CarolS 2242130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much, Robin, but I'm sorry to have inadvertently summoned snow for you!!!!LOL. </p> <p>I haven't traditionally been a hat fan either, but as you say, those concerns take a back seat when the air is cold and the winds are howling. I figure being warm and a bit cheeky (while marching) helps make braving the elements more bearable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-found-my-everyday-winter-coat-and-2-new-hats#post-2242107 Mon, 06 Dec 2021 14:29:33 +0000 RobinF 2242107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you're ready for winter! I'll blame you when it starts snowing today - haha. Love the new coat and hats. I really hate hats but it when it gets super cold I just have to wear one. So it's nice when it actually looks good with my coats. Yours are fun and will be warm and also match - perfect.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-found-my-everyday-winter-coat-and-2-new-hats#post-2242024 Mon, 06 Dec 2021 02:38:37 +0000 CarolS 2242024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Bijou and Mirjana!

I like diamond quilting more more than the usual straight across puffs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-found-my-everyday-winter-coat-and-2-new-hats#post-2241749 Sat, 04 Dec 2021 03:15:17 +0000 CarolS 2241749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Rachy! I am crazily excited by these hats.&nbsp;</p> <p>Suz -- thank you! I was pretty happy to find an Olsen coat at 50% off with the features I was looking for! (It even has diamond quilting like the swoon-worthy yellow one that I shared here earlier in the week!) I look forward to hearing the update on what you ordered!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-found-my-everyday-winter-coat-and-2-new-hats#post-2241739 Sat, 04 Dec 2021 02:51:22 +0000 Suz 2241739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your hats are adorable on you!&nbsp; I don't have one of those ear flap hats any more but when I lived in Ontario, I wore one throughout the winter months!&nbsp;</p> <p>Love the new coat, too. Olsen makes good quality items.&nbsp;</p> <p>BTW, I didn't order the white coat you got, but did order another. Will report once it arrives! Thank you for the intel on it and I'm so glad it is working for you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-found-my-everyday-winter-coat-and-2-new-hats#post-2241738 Sat, 04 Dec 2021 02:49:44 +0000 rachylou 2241738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great coat!

Those are great humor hats! But with all the things people on here report about their husbands, I almost want you to make him cringe, lol. </p> <p>I agree with you on good insulation and slash pockets. Can’t imagine facing winter where you are without feeling prepared, so I’m glad you lucked into these! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-found-my-everyday-winter-coat-and-2-new-hats#post-2241710 Sat, 04 Dec 2021 01:30:46 +0000 Irina 2241710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your hats are adorable!

My husband would totally steal the second one from you. He loves those hats! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-found-my-everyday-winter-coat-and-2-new-hats#post-2241683 Sat, 04 Dec 2021 00:20:22 +0000 CarolS 2241683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went to The Bay today to return a lightweight black quilted coat I had picked up at a good price on "Black Friday Weekend". (It was actually a pretty great coat and I might have kept it if I already had my "basics" covered and was now just filling in gaps and adding more options.)</p> <p>In any case, while i waited for the return line to get shorter, I came across another black coat that had a few things in common with the one I was returning, AND some important things the other was missing, such as Thinsulate lining and lined side slash pockets (the other just had front patch pockets which are just not as useful in the cold.) It was also a good brand (Olsen) at a good price (50% off). Easy decision. </p> <p>I also stopped into the Fair Trade store in my neighbourhood mall and picked up two knitted hats with ear flaps, modelled here to show Carla both my HATS and my HUMOUR. The burgundy one is extra toasty and will work with my big burgundy puffer. The cream one is lighter weight (and reversible) and will work with either my cream or black coat. Toques (beanies) always seem to pop up and don't fully cover my ears, so I'm super excited to try these options. Maybe DH will find them less cringe-worthy than my beloved green "trapper" hat. </p> <p>With my big burgundy puffer for cold weather walks, the cream Heavenly Long Columbia jacket for warmer days and the new black one for any day, I think I'm set for the essentials this winter. I might still add another pair of mitts, and would add a plainer ear flat hat if I found the right one.</p> <p>I have also been trying to add at least one more pair of winter boots -- either something really warm with good grip for walking, or something a bit on the refined/semi-dressy side that's still reasonably warm. So far, everything I've tried has gone back. One more pair was supposed to arrive today, and I have one pair home that's close, but a bit loose in the calf (often the case once it fits my forefoot).  </p> <p>Anyway, all in all I'm feeling quite well sorted on the winter wear front. I could be tempted by a great end of season sale on something metallic or colourful, but there's no panic. I had to pull myself away from a colourful wall of scarves today. That's my kryptonite!</p> <p>Comments always welcome. I hope the hats give you a smile!! (I almost bought one with a mohawk cut pompom down the centre, but decided it might be a bit more cheeky than I wanted to go.</p> <p>I'll make a find for the new coat shortly. </p>
