Let’s move on to outerwear next. I am usually wearing one of my many wool blazers in Winter and only use my coats when it’s really really cold. But I’d love to add any of these next three items to my closet!
~ Faux Fur Vest, Medium ~
It’s always hard to not look like a Bumble when wear a Faux Fur Vest. I had one in the past that was reversible from GAP Factory and wore it once or twice. I know there are folks out there who can pull off wearing one, it just has to be the right one.
The Medium was a bigger fit so I would definitely size to a Small which was sold out in-stores. I don’t think I would ever zip this so I am not a fan of the zipper though the contrasting black zipper does break up the fur some. I like the look better unzipped and open. Overall, I like the Faux Fur Vest but is this vest better than it’s competitors (F21, Kohl’s, Lord & Taylor)? The quality might be but IMO, not really. Especially for an item I probably won’t wear next year, or even much this year.
~ XO Cocoon Coat, Medium ~
I so loved this coat! I thought the pattern was a swirl at first but it is abstract X’s and O’s. The Medium was a generous fit so I would size to a Small maybe even XS. I cannot remember the warmth of this coat whether it had a nice thick quilted lining but it’s relaxed enough to layer. Size down at least one in this beautiful unique coat.
~ Plaid Three-Button Tailored Coat, Small ~
This was my favorite of the three and is also offered in Citron Green. If you like the bright green but not all over then don’t worry as this is mixed with gray in the Plaid version. There’s also a Pink Double-Breasted Coat I love!
The Small was a tight fit in the shoulders and arms. I think a Medium Petite would be a much better fit in that area as well as shorten the sleeves some. I love this plaid and it’s on many items in this collection. So if the coat isn’t for you maybe the scarf, gloves or Plaid Moto Jacket are! That jacket was gorgeous IRL and has a faux fur collar that’s so soft! I didn’t see it until I was leaving so I wasn’t able to try it on.
It’s fully lined.

I really loved the coats compared to last year. I think Marissa is doing a great job with these collections!
I saw the plaid coat online yesterday. Debated and debated. I decided against it because I have so many coats. The grey was calling my name, though. Great reviews. Thank you!
