HALF-OFF HOTTIE: Puffed

Now that the weather has cooled down (or frozen, if you live near me) and winter is officially here, it's time to think of coats. I realized this last week, when I spent 10 minutes in front of my coat closet, sorting through the coats I have accumulated through the years, only to realize that, um, I don't own an actual "winter" coat.

It's true.

I'll be honest, I have shied away from winter coats because my image of them was that they aren't stylish. But upon the realization that I just COULD NOT get away with trenches (even if I have one in every color) or cute thin little wool jackets (Let's face it. A jacket is not a coat), I started looking for one of these "puffer jackets". Or "puff jackets". Or whatever name people call these.




















I think I'm warming up to them now!

Here's an alternative that won't leave you and your wallet out in the cold (no pun intended)
