Oh the weather outside is frightful!

Let us begin this blog by apologizing for not posting anything for nearly two weeks! Unfortunately, blogging doesn’t pay the bills and our jobs are currently obnoxiously busy. We apologize. Don’t leave us!

Winter is quickly approaching, and since the weather man has informed us that snow might be coming this weekend, we thought it would be appropriate to talk about winter wear! Below is a mixture of coats we thing every girl should own in her closet

oldnavy.com: On sale for $65.00

Let’s start with the fun one, winter is so dreary, and being able to add a splash of color to any outfit can not only lift your cold hibernating mood, but you will definitely stand out! I (Lauren) have a deep purple colored pea coat, and LOVE it because it brings a completely different look to an outfit. Don’t want to purchase another coat? Scarves and hats in bright colors can have the same brightening effect on any winter outfit.

Columbia Bugaboo Tech Parka $300.00

The outdoor winter jacket is a must. Between running errands and extreme sports ( I don’t snowboard, no one needs to see that), staying warm is a must. Columbia always has great quality coats. I love this one because it’s a 3-in-1. You can wear the inner lining on warmer days, wear them together when it’s really cold and just the outer layer when you want a hood. If you don’t want to make such a huge investment in a coat, department stores like JCPenney have Columbia brand products that go on sale right after Christmas, and you can get a great bargain!

loft.com: Faille Bubble Hem Anorak,  40% off $75

This jacket is on the lighter side, but it’s something every girl should have, whether in khaki, green, black, or navy, having a light jacket for those in-between days is great. This style can easily be dressed up (see picture) or worn with jeans or yoga pants on days you’re running errands or watching a sporting event.

gap.com: Perfect Tailored Pea Coat $168.00

This style coat is a must have. Not only is a black coat timeless, but it can be worn with virtually anything. The military inspired looks are really in right now (just look at Kate Middleton!), and you can invest in a good black pea coat, and it can easily last you a decade.

gap.com: Moto Puffer Jacket $98.00

Move over puffer vest! We're on to puffer  jackets! We love this Puffer Jacket from Gap. It's a fashion upgrade from the vest, but still super comfy and casual. It comes in black and pink, so you can mix it up with some color or stay conservative with the black.
