Coat ($?): Maurices (similar)
Pin (free): Gramma's (similar
)
)I used to wear pins on my coats all the time in winter. Then a few years ago, one came loose and fell off. I didn't notice, and consequently lost it. :( I haven't worn pins on my jackets since. I might have to start again though. I forgot how a nice, bright pin can add so much to a dark jacket.
Is there a difference between a jacket and a coat? I often use both words interchangeably, but I really don't know. :)

I'm not sure if there's a difference, but to me a jacket is for warmer weather and a coat is for cooler weather. And I love your brooch!
ReplyDeleteFunny! I think I would actually say the opposite! :)
DeleteI know how to make a winter jacket pretty!! Put you in it!! :)Very cute today!
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks Neener! :)
DeleteI always think jackets are shorter and lighter (like a blazer could be called a jacket), and coats are longer and warmer. Love your brooch, btw.
ReplyDeleteThat's usually my thought too! I wear winter "coats" and spring/fall "jackets". :)
DeleteWhat a pretty pin! Even better that it was your grandma's!

Thanks Rebecca! That does make it special! :)
DeleteI love that pin and the fact that it is from your g-ma makes it so much more special :)

Thanks Say! I have quite a few pieces that were her's; love to wear them! :)
DeleteThat's so awesome that your pin was your grandma's! I don't have anything from my grandma (she passed away years ago and I'm still annoyed about that). And you're right..it does add a little special something to your coat!

Aw, that's too bad! :( I know I'm very fortunate to have it.
DeleteThat brooch is so so pretty! I've been dying for something similar.

lace, etc.
Thanks preethi! I know I linked to a similar one above, and there's actually quite a few on Amazon (for pretty cheap!).
DeleteI don't know the difference but I'm pretty sure there is one. Google it! Hehe.
ReplyDeleteAnd I totally love the idea of dressing up a jacket with a broach. Classic!
Oooo, I love your coat!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rebekah! :)
