Animal Farm

DSC_0422

I found this big red coat at a tag sale a few weeks ago and never looked back. I'm a big fan of coats, but they're generally pretty expensive, so when I found this cute one for about ten dollars, I jumped at it. Not literally, of course, but I was probably more excited than the average person gets about finding a coat. The buttons even have little owls on them! And it's no big secret that I love animals and cute animal prints on my clothes. So, pair the coat with my cat print dress, and I'm practically a zoo. Practically.

On an unrelated note, are any of you Kurt Vonnegut fans? He's one of my absolute favorite authors and people. I've read some of his books (Cat's Cradle is one of my all time favorite books), and I've set a goal for myself to finish his novel Slaughterhouse Five before my birthday this weekend. I always seem to start his books, put them aside for a while, and come back. I've got a ton of school work this week, but I'm determined to take some time and read what I want. Not just Ovid and Fichte. Oh, Fichte. Oh boy.

  2. Lovely coat! I'm taking a class on Kurt Vonnegut next semester and I'm incredibly excited about it. He's one of those authors I've always meant to read more of but never gotten around to.

  4. 1. Animal prints are always adorable on others, and yours is no exception. I can't make 'em work, though.

    2. You're making me wish I had time to read.

    3. I would have jumped AAALL over a coat like that, miss. So I think you snagged yourself a great deal.

  5. Well I'll be a monkey's uncle - a $10 coat with owl buttons!!! I think that outfit underneath has some tough competition with that coat. haha I'd say they both win. They're both pretty adorable!

    I don't really care for Vennegut which probably makes me a jerk, I just can't get into it every time I try :(

  13. i LOVE that coat! i can't believe it was only $10--such a great find. (i pounce on good finds at the thrift store, too...)

    i love vonnegut and need to read some more of his books. i have a ton of them sitting on the shelf because they're always so easy to find used! do you like tom robbins? he's my absolute favorite & sort of similar style-wise.
