I may have, in my possession, the perfect fall/winter coat. If the cut, color, and perfect woven leather buttons were not enough on their own, the plaid wool lining sealed the deal. I will always love Brooks Brothers and its unabashedly-stuffy perfect preppiness, but vintage Brooks Brothers reigns supreme.
This ring was part of the major haul I received from Good Girls Studio. Best. Giveaway. Ever.

PS Major thanks are in order: I was so privileged to be featured alongside some of my favorite fashion bloggers in Stylecaster’s 5 Bloggers to Watch this month. So cool!

Great jacket! I love when things have cool linings- even if other people can't see them, you know that they're awesome.

That coat is the find of the century. Love!
Christina
Lady this is perfection! You are so lucky to have indeed found the most wonderful fall coat ever! I have been rummaging through the coat racks at thrift stores to find something similar to no avail. I think it has something to do with the city one lives in. Is it strange to say that I would rather look at thrift stores in major cities than their fancy department stores?
Elizabeth Edith
I love everything about all this!! Everything, literally.

I love the sweater vest … amazing, I need one immediately.
Great look as always.
