I’m having really bad writers block today. I can’t come up with anything clever to say about this outfit. But that’s appropriate because if I remember correctly, I had a lot of trouble coming up with something to wear the day I wore this outfit. Hence why I’m wearing all of the neutrals and hence why I’m yammering on about nothing for the sake of filling out a paragraph. I hope you’ll let my mediocrity slide just this once.

Is it too early to start making Christmas song references in my titles? If it helps, “merry & bright” just refers to this coat. I’ve had it for years and it’s always a compliment attractor. But I don’t really wear it for the compliments; I wear it because a cheerfully colored coat is the perfect antidote to cold, gloomy weather. One with a fun pattern works too. I try to get a new coat every year so I have something to look forward to. This year I have my eye on this mint green one – pretty great, right?
