How to Make a Winter Coat Look Pretty

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. :)

  1. 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!

  3. I 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.

    1. That's usually my thought too! I wear winter "coats" and spring/fall "jackets". :)

  5. I love that pin and the fact that it is from your g-ma makes it so much more special :)

  6. That'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!

    1. Thanks preethi! I know I linked to a similar one above, and there's actually quite a few on Amazon (for pretty cheap!).

  8. I don't know the difference but I'm pretty sure there is one. Google it! Hehe.

    And I totally love the idea of dressing up a jacket with a broach. Classic!
