No Boughs Have Withered Because Of Wintry Winds

I have a "thing" for coats; that thing being I generally own too many, but I still couldn't resist getting my hands on this one (the color is just too pretty and I was inspired to build the rest of my outfit in the same tones). If I needed convincing, I'd tell myself that I'm really only wearing three coats this winter because I never got around to unpacking my old ones and faced with fleeting days and lingering nights, three seems like a pithy number. Although this winter has been so mild compared to the last one and I'm not complaining; I'll be happy if it doesn't snow here at all this year...
