Sunday Style: Ode to an Old Coat

I received a new coat for Christmas this year, a military-style one, and I like it very much.  It's a great coat- simple, attractive, flattering, and a little bit badass.  That's about all I can ask for in a piece of clothing.  

However, a button fell off of the front a few days ago, so I wore my older coat today.  It's black and white, with buttons down the front.  I love it mostly because, when I look down at the sidewalk beneath me, I silhouette like an Elizabethan courtier.

And that, my friends, is cool.

Anything that makes me feel Renaissance-chic is wonderful.  Anything that went to Europe with me is marvelous.  I wore this coat all around Europe- it traveled through four countries with me, and even though it isn't as new, or as trendy as the military-esque coat, this fact will always give it a place in my heart.  

Stay tuned to see what I was working on today, why I wore the coat... I was acting in a short film directed by my friend Ginny.  I'm so pleased with how the shoot went, I can't wait to see the final result!  Hopefully I'll be able to post it on here once I get a hold of it.

Until then... another reminisce through my European travels with my coat.  

God, I need to get myself back to Europe!
