Moar Talking about Coats

Yep, I'm gonna keep blathering about it.

I visited the trusty goodwill again and came across a dk gray and blue plaid hoodie that is lined with fuzzy warm stuff. It's a men's size large and is pretty comfy. I've removed the "sweater cuffs" and will be headed to the store to buy a yard of dark gray fleece to make some coat-like cuffs, a faux double breast placket for the front, and possibly a collar. If I can up-cycle a comfy (read: stretchy) maternity coat, then when Jeeves and I head to old navy tomorrow, I can purchase this awesome thing...

40 bucks, I'm so stoked!!!

In the size I plan on being next year. So hopefully I will come through the weekend with two coats, and an outfit for Christmas. I have this plan, for my holiday outfit. I have a picture in my mind of what I want it to look like and if I start early enough I bet I can find the pieces I still need. I recently discovered Polyvore and have created the outfit that I want to wear, and I only need to find the sweater and shoes at this point.
Here's what I have in mind...
