I love your edits🤍 especially the max mara coat with the trench belt, so cool! I’ve had my wrap from The Curated for many years and think it’s a great price-value for how well the quality has lasted. I recently purchased one of their trenches too and love it…it’s a really simple design but lined in silk which is such a nice detail. Thank you for sharing and can’t wait to see what’s to come on WIPOT 🫶

Thank you so much, Angie! I think simple designs are strangely hard to find. I'm excited to dive deeper into the space on my weekends.

I purchased a wrap coat last winter that I can’t wait to wear again! Beyond your recommendations for a new one (so tempting!), I wanted to say how much loved your intro and the sincerity behind it. 💕

Thank you so much, Elaine! I am a real creature of habit when it comes to pieces I like. Thank you so much for your note on my intro, too. It really means a lot to me to hear any kind of feedback from readers. Good or bad!

So glad you found The Curated, I have their camel wrap coat and if I could live in it all year round I would. That burgundy coat though 🫶🏻

Burgundy is a color I really love in winter, too.

How warm is it? I live in the northeast. Feel like we go from air conditioning to cold and never can truly wear these light coats.🥶

I live in Australia so my temperature gauge would be really different to yours. I would probably freeze where you live. I can tell you that it is my warmest coat and I loved it when I was in Paris in early February 🫶🏻

I look forward to fall so I can wear that coat. Oddly they didn’t make it again this year! It’s the perfect butter yellow color. I’d never worn yellow in my life. Who knew?

I have a coat from The Curated that’s languishing in the garage. You’re inspiring me to pull it out and try it again this winter. I love that burgundy one though!

Me too! I think burgundy is a color we don't see often and it's a beautiful color for winter (especially when it's dreary and very cold).

I have no patience for anyone that steals ideas or bully. Also, for this cost of these coats there are some beautiful ones from Max Mara and others on sale here: https://www.24s.com/en-us/women/20percent-off-on-a-fall-selection?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwpP63BhDYARIsAOQkATZ2NRiurIBzWktx6Md7aNeiDapN_8uPBEev_yAJZpkMqXY9Q_cfpYoaAhnVEALw_wcB
