Adding One To The List
About two weeks ago, I moved back to New York City after almost a decade of living in Southern California. Yesterday, I was informed that my idea of a winter coat has nothing to do with the reality of winter in the North East, and the Marla Singer jacket I tried on in H&M wasn’t going to cut it (even though it was effin’ awesome). Now, I am on the hunt for something that will keep me warm and not break my bank, but will not make me look like a giant black clad marshmallow.
Let’s add the Top Shop’s Ruched Side Funnel Neck Coat to Nixon’s affordable jacket search, which I am (reluctantly) jumping onto now.

I like the coat, but I find it interesting that it’s a “mixed wool” coat when there’s not a speck of natural fiber in there anywhere.
Make sure your coat has at least 50% wool, it’ll be a hell of a lot warmer.

Actually viscose is from trees and so is natural. But it is odd that its “wool mix” when theres clearly nothing woolly in there. It is a pretty coat though!

Problem is that I am SUPER allergic to wool & cashmere. As soon as it touches me, I break out in insta-hives, so I can’t wear it at all.

Chicagoan checking in. That coat might get you through to December, but probably not any later than that. I do like it, though.

Saw it here, Loved it, Wanted it, Had to have it… and as I was in London for a few days, ran straight to Topshop Oxford Circus & picked it up. Just don’t tell my mother that it’s not wool…!!
