Extra Coating

It's March. Trigger the impatience for spring.

Cold and snow haven't played too much of a role this winter. So what is my problem?

My problem is with coats. My coat. Your coat. Their coat. Mainly my coat.

My coat has certainly seen better seasons, and will probably be retired at end of this one. No matter…by March I'm tired of wearing, looking and holding this second skin of mine.

Shopping is a pain with the extra load.
Commuting is cumbersome with the extra inches.
Outing is expensive with the extra check. Coat check.

My favourite time of year is that day where you haphazardly shed your coat, even if it's still a little too cold. You do it because it's been four months of handcuffs. Handcuffs in the form of heavy wool plaid with a funnel neck. And then you're free!

Well free to wear your SPRING coat.
Which is fine because it's light and cute and has a lot less mileage on it.
