DH has offered me a new coat for my birthday. I live in Wisconsin and was hoping to find something attractive and really warm! I do have a full-length parka that makes me look a raspberry smoothie on steroids. Last year I just wore a short black jacket all winter, but since the kids were so small we were hardly outdoors.
I'd like something 3/4 length or a little shorter to keep me warm while the kids play in the snow. I've looked at Lands End, LL Bean, Eddie Bauer and a little through Nordstrom's site. Nothing has really stuck out at me. Any ideas?
I am also looking at Boden's Chic Wool coat http://www.bodenusa.com/en-us/Womens-Coats-and-Jackets/Coats/WE206/Womens-Chic-Wool-Coat.html, but it doesn't look warm enough and I think the buttons would pop off after a lot of bending over.
