My Christmas Coat

Every year the little town of St Jacobs has a special Christmas event when the town is dressed for Christmas and sparkles with lights. It’s almost magical. We enjoyed coffee and dessert in the town bakery and strolled along the street, window shopping and visiting a few of my favourite boutiques.

I wore my cherry red coat (pre-loved) with houndstooth accessories. You never know what treasures you’ll find in a second-hand shop. Easy on the budget, great for the environment and helps support a good cause. Win, win, win!

My hat is from Holt Renfrew (high-end quality women’s apparel, my mom used to work there part-time in the 1970s, no wonder she had such chic clothes) how happy I got it at a thrift shop. I tied my scarf in a pussy cat bow and my gloves were a gift from my grandmother in the 1960s, made in Germany. It’s a classic outfit, a bit of a vintage vibe and I felt like my mom because this is how she dressed when shopping.

I bought this cute gray hat with a black pompom and gray gloves with sparkles at The Weathered Gate.

These tartan leggings are from Rumba and I love how soft and comfortable they are. I’ve already worn them to my dance classes.
