While my vintage, green-hounds-tooth-printed coat may not be as spectacular as a signature Prada or Marni coat, it still keeps me warm in this cold, cold winter (it had gotten way too cold in Romania right now). I know that there are some readers from parts of the world where they don’t feel the killingly low temperatures of winter, like the ones I feel every morning when going to school, and be sure that I’d love to spend winter time on some sunny island, tanning.

Reality is different, so a warm coat is indispensable for me right now. Better warm than getting a cold, right? Oh, and I’d love to wear ankle booties everyday to school, but I always end up jumping in my self-painted silver Ugg boots (that will soon get black; stay tuned to see how), because, let’s face it, it’s better to be warm and comfortable than fashionably freezing. Right???
