Fashion says stop whining about your cold arms
And now for another slam dunk from an Australian retailer:
Behold the perfect shade of camel, the wonderful soft wool and the way the sleeves end just above the wrist bones. Well done, Witchery.
For anyone who thinks that coats are for keeping you warm, here’s a little story that’ll learn ya:
Once, a few years ago, I donned a particularly amazing cropped-sleeve winter coat and went out to meet my lovely friend. Upon seeing that my bare arms were sticking out of my coat sleeves, my lovely friend asked me, “Don’t your arms get cold?” I gave her my best withering look and replied, “Being warm and comfortable is extremely passé.”
Sometimes we clothes horses have to deal with the scoffing questions of the practical set, but when you know that looking stylish is the epitome of all that is right and good in this world, being the subject of scoffing, (and having the occasional goosebump), is absolutely worth it.
I wonder when this beautiful camel coat will be available in stores. I may keel over in a dramatic faint from all this annoying WAITING.
Swoon- thank you for sticking up for us not “practical set” types.
Short sleeve jackets are why gloves were invented. Long, darling, delicious- gloves.
As I have had to school so many- looking fashionable isn’t about “comfort” it’s about being FASHIONABLE. And one must suffer for fashion- it’s the first rule.
Maybe melbournia will deliver to me the perfect spring jacket for home!!
Isn’t that why we gals got you those lovely long leather gloves? Hee hee…it really doesn’t get very cold here, but pack them for Melbournia indeed!
Thanks for the comment today, and I apologize for tempting you with my shoe photos! ; ) You have wonderful taste, by the way. I adore so many of the things posted on your blog. That stripped Thread Social dress is just perfect for summer and I love that camel skirt by Country Road. Can’t wait to see what you post next!

Hmmmm, what’s with those practical people anyway? I have absolutely no idea who would ask such a question. not a clue. Definitely not a certain someone I know who’s now seen the light and owns a couple 3/4 length sleeve jackets herself
