It's a long time till Spring

Am I the only person who needs a reminder of this?  As soon as I've hung up the last of the tinsel I assume that it's sandals and floaty dresses on tap (and no, we don't have tinsel.  I am that mother that when my daughter was in her first year of school, came home in AWE at this thing she'd discovered called "tinsel".  The.  Shame).

But we have two whole more months of Winter.  Which is rather appropriate seeing as I am currently lounging in that fug which is Chrimbo Limno.  Where we look like we're living in a festive squat, the remnants of Monopoly litter the coffee table, where there once lay a very expensive Dutch wooden tray and selection of favourite candles - a game of Monopoly which, according to the rules, you can finish in an hour and forty five minutes.   Errr LIES.  Never in the history of Monopoly games has one been finished ever, let alone in such a titchy time frame. 

And don't even get me started on the food.  I can't look at any more food.  Randomly we really haven't drunk that much (go figure) but I'm even over the cashew nuts which is a white flag right there.

But one thing I don't have fatigue of is thinking about what I shall be wearing when normal life resumes next week and apparently it's not going to be bikini weather and it's unlikely that sandals will be our first choice of footwear. 

Therefore - let the sales bingeing commence and what better to start with than COATS.  Which you will be needing for months and months.  Zero need for justification - ok so there may be some needed for those that are a bit more of an investment but there are some which are the perfect January pick me up.

Starting with a classic wrap coat that would serve you so well for years to come.
