I love a good scapegoat.

Rebecca you are my goat this time around.

I am blaming my obsession over this red leather jacket with removable sleeves on Rebecca from Winnipeg Style when she was on holiday in Scotland.

That jacket is just too perfect. You can partially unzip the sleeves and wear it like a cape. Or take them right off and wear it like a vest.

I think I became a jacket/coat hoarder this year. I am definately making up for years past.

I snuck these photos in before we got the huge dumping of snow.

Leather coat & clutch – Danier, Boots – TJ Maxx, Hat – estate sale, Scarf – made by my Mom

So even if I own too many just enough coats now don't expect to see me back outside for photos until Spring.

I may be from Canada but by no means does that mean I do well in our winters. The older I get the more I understand why so many "Snow Birds" leave Canada for Florida for the winter months.

How do you like the hat? It is from the estate sale where I got that fab coat. It is wool, made in Scotland and I paid $0 for it. Yep. They gave it to me for free with the coat and some books. Free people! It doesn't get any better than that.

And no, before you ask this coat wasn't free…but I figure it balances out the free hat plus I am counting this as one of my Christmas present.

That is my story and I am sticking with it.

When was the last time you bought yourself a new coat? Or am I the only one with this peculiar addiction?
