Sleeping Bag Coat

Friends, I wouldn't really consider myself a southerner, but this weekend's weather calls for a uniquely southern phrase. "Mercy, y'all". I woke up on Saturday morning to a temperature reading of 3 degrees. Yeah, you read that right. There's no 0 missing on the end. But don't worry, towards the afternoon we warmed up to a shorts-ready 16 degrees.

I've always loved the long puffy coats, and pined after one long before I knew we were moving to Colorado. It wasn't practical to have a coat like that in Nashville, since our super cold snaps are short lived. However, once I found out we were making the move, I knew the coat had to be mine.

Mr. SE laughs at me and says it looks like I'm wearing a sleeping bag. But guess what? There's no way in heck I'm feeling the cold. In fact, walking around on Saturday the only part of me that was chilly was my knees. They're the only open part between my boots and coat. Our realtor said she was impressed with my "Denver look" after only being here for a month. Mission accomplished!


What do you think of the long puffer? Silly? I know there's some long puffer girls out there who have my back!
