I found this coat in my mom’s closet. I remember her wearing it a lot and knew that I had to have it. It still smells like her, and I love that when I put it on it’s like a hug from my mama. :) I have seen a coat very similar floating around the fashion blog world. I have to giver her props- the woman had some amazing fashion sense. Pairing it with my comfy cableknit sweater and a statement necklace, some faux leather leggings and booties just seemed like the right thing to do. Had to glam it up a bit, you understand.
My oldest brother just arrived late last night, and we got him from the airport so yay! His flight was delayed, though, making it well past midnight when he finally landed. Thank goodness for online flight status updates! To say I was tired when we got him is an understatement, but now he’s here and the fun can begin! We’re up the hill (a.k.a. at my dad’s house) tonight, having BBQ for dinner and going on adventures! My other brother and his wife get into town in a few days (they’re driving cross country, so say a little prayer for their safety, please!) and I’m pretty excited for our family to be together again. Aren’t the holidays just the perfect time of year?!

I think it looks so nice with the cableknit sweater & beautiful necklace!

I love that your mom’s jacket still smells like her. Its too bad you can’t bottle up that smell to have forever. xo
Have fun with the family! :)
Ugh, girl, wouldn’t that be incredible?! I wishhhh!!

I absolutely love that coat. I’ve been on such a plaid kick lately. And it’s even better that it has such a special connection for you! Have fun with your family! Prayers for a safe trip for your brother!

I love having clothing or jewelry that reminds me of my mom. My favorite mom memorabilia is her wedding ring. I wore it all the time before I got married myself. :)
Aww so sweet. I have my mom’s ring, too, and it’s like I always have a piece of her with me <3

I love this and I love it even more that it was your Mom’s. I have a lot of my Mom’s clothes and try to wear something of hers once a week at least. :)
That is so sweet. It helps a little, doesn’t it, to make it feel like she’s with you when you’re wearing something of hers? <3

I love that that plaid coat belonged to your mom. Makes it so much more special that way. And it is really cute!
