My first winter coat in the US
A couple of days ago I was exploring my outerwear closet and I was really surprised when I found this coat. I totally forgot about it. Ten years ago it was my first purchase for the winter season here; how far back that time is now... It brought so many memories.
Honestly, I didn't like this coat at all when I bought it. First of all, it was black color which I tried to avoid back in Russia. Second, I thought it was a weird length - I preferred longer or shorter coats, but not this length. But..., being ten pounds lighter at that time - I realized that I didn't have too many choices with my size. I was drowning in almost every coat I had tried. The decision was made - we bought it as a temporary item and decided to continue looking for something else. But we all know that oftentimes temporary slowly becomes permanent.
I've had many different outerwear items after that purchase, I even don't remember all of them, but this one... After ten years it's still in my closet, it is still with me.
Today is cold outside again and I decided to put it on, I don't know..., I just wanted to remind myself what I felt wearing this coat, and it turned out that it still looked very good on me in my opinion.
Interesting, ten years ago I bought it because I desperately needed at least something. Today I wore it with great pleasure. Isn't strange?
I think it is still in style and I feel myself very confident and comfortable in it. Even though I have changed a lot since then, the coat is still the same and I love it!
Do you have any clothes in your closet which you would still wear even after they have been in your closet for ten years?
