Time for fall coats on the West Coast

Its finally dropped in temperature enough, its time, the coats are coming out... and I am excited, simply because I got a few back in Spring when they where on Sale after season, and a few recently that I have hung up and waited for the moment to bring them out on time, and trying not to jump the gun. Did you jump the gun? What is your key sign its time to bring the fall items out?

Well I made it! And here is one of the lovelies! I have had a black peacock and always wanted a colored one (the few purchased this year are all different colors!) and here was one on sale for Tulle in August! Its adorable, and I love it. As always with Tulle, very well constructed and made to last a long time.

I was not so sure about the length of the sleeves when I purchased it, but it was such a steal of a deal and a great looking coat that I decided to try it, and boy am I happy. With the half sleeves I have figured out its easier to deal with. I can wear it at work and not feel like the sleeves are getting in the way of typing. Also I always find myself pushing sleeves of jackets up anyways to about my elbow to get them out of the way.. so it just works better then I expected, which is always wonderful!

 Love this dress, and I am pretty sure I have shown you guys this combo before so I won't bore you with more gushing, but I still love it and will keep it around for awhile.

BUT I AM JUST IN LOVE WITH THE COAT!!!!

I will be heading up to Portland tomorrow morning, so excited! I have never been there and I have had numerous people tell me they think I need to check it out. I will be running my 2nd  1/2 marathon on Sunday morning with my friend Kristen, and then heading over to Bend for a quick trip (where Kristen moved to) and then back to Arcata on Monday. Hopefully I can take some sweet pictures, outfit pictures even maybe in Portland, I have Saturday to explore, and Sunday.. well we are going to get dumped on, so it might not be great picture taking, but I assume Tyler (Kristen's bf) will probably have a camera around, so maybe I will end up with a few decent ones to share! Have a lovely weekend, any big plans?
