If you have been following my Instagram account lately, you are well aware that I am OBSESSED with my new Chateau Parka from J.Crew. I have been looking for a grey, everyday wear coat and this one was too good to be true! It bellows at the bottom which causes the fit to run a little big, but the shoulders fit almost true to size. I went down a size–probably could have gone down two sizes but I like my winter coats to be a bit bigger to make room for layering. The fur trim adds a nice touch of detail to it, but if that isn’t your taste, it is removable. My only complaint is that the neckline runs a bit high–or maybe I have a short neck–but it rubs against my chin, and since I unfortunately have sensitive skin, it irritates it a little. I guess that is why someone created scarves–genius idea.
The color is truly beautiful and the detailing of the pockets is a nice touch. I love a good pocket! It has a casual, yet polished look. The wool material keeps you warm during a polar-vortex, which is inevitable in the midwest.
The best part: when I flip the hood up, I look like a lion.
