all you had to say was "Leopard Coat"....like Sterling said "YES"!!! '-) naughty grin

Thanks so much to all of you! Your comments are really helpful.

approprio, that's a tough one. I think one of the hip length coats would have to go if I did one in one out.

fashiontern, thanks for the enabling. I think was a bit unclear in my previous answer. My concern is that my shopping habits are a bit whimsical and I should practice on being more concious and structured. But I certainly not dislike impulsive shopping and that unplanned items can become workhorses or inject a lot of fun.

skylurker, I've never had a faux fur coat so I don't know if it will pass the arctic winter cold. Honestly, I don't think so, but I think of it more as a transitional coat. For really cold days I would wear many thin layers of thin wool and my vintage camel coat or my yellow Marimekko coat (100% wool).
