Winter Jacket? What’s That?

0

I am very fortunate to be living in the tropical weather all year round. Florida is awesome. Yeah sure, there is no such thing as season changes down here and it gets hot as hell during the summer but who really cares, that’s why we have the beach, pool and palm trees to distract us. I’ve lived here for 15 years and do not plan on leaving. I grew up in the north and experienced the crappy ass winters and snow. Shits fun to visit but I prefer year-round bathing suit weather.

Since I have been transplanted down here and away from winter, my body got used to the warmth and you kind of forget just how damn cold it is. People laugh at us Floridians for busting out boots when the temperature drops to 70. Laugh all you want, but our bodies can’t handle it! When I have to go up north during the fall/winter I frantically run around trying to find winter clothes because I know I’m gonna freeze my ass off. We have an upcoming wedding in New York and from what I hear, its below 70. Last time we were up there for a wedding, I had to wear a bulky, ugly jacket over my gown and it just looked ridiculous. My wardrobe consists of tank tops, shorts, dresses and jeans. WTF am I gonna do?! Shop of course :)

I need a cute jacket I can wear both to the wedding and outside of my hotel room. I instantly went to my go to store (Forever21) to see what they had online for winter jackets. I found these adorable jackets that I can totally dress up or down.

This is in the running...

grr baby, very grrrrrr

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My dress is red so I’m not sure if the red coat will be too much. So I kept looking and saw these bad boys. Can’t go wrong with black.

Me likey.

Hopefully the store by my house has them. Forever 21 usually comes through when I need them. If they don’t, I’m pretty much screwed. Damn cold weather.
