Pass the Peas

The peacoat is as much of a fall classic as back-to-school, pumpkin carving, and putting up with opinionated drunken in-laws at Thanksgiving. Also known as the “Jackie O” coat, it is timeless. I scored this luscious chocolate brown classic at last year’s end-of-season outerwear sale at The Wardrobe Boutique. It’s a plush wool/cashmere blend, and goes with most of my fall/winter pieces. 

This jacket reminds me of the days when I explored the world as a curious twenty-something woman. My black pea coat accompanied and protected me everywhere I went—to work, on dates, running errands, hanging out with other underemployed friends. I wore it until the lining was in shreds. Needless to say, I’m delighted to have another pea coat and can’t wait to snuggle into it!
