A dressy coat

      A few weeks ago we were going to a party at the restaurant. I was all dressed up and the last thing was choosing a coat to wear on top of my outfit. I opened my closet and realized that I don't have any coats that cover my knees. Every coat I tried was very casual and shorter than my skirt.  It looked very tasteless and definitely not for going out. When Evgeny saw it, he asked me: "Tatiana, do you have any normal coats? Why didn't you buy one presentable coat for special events?"

      I was silent, I really didn't know how to answer his question. This situation brought a lot of memories from when I lived in Russia. Yes, I had an ivory coat, a light peach coat, pink and black checkered  coat, green, black... Yes, I did! But it was a totally different lifestyle. I took a public transportation and then I walked to my work on one of the main and most beautiful streets of my city. Now I drive a car every day, that's why I don't need these fancy long coats anymore, they are not practical. "I don't walk anywhere anymore" - I thought sadly.

       But anyway, sometimes I am a very obedient wife and I took his advice literally. On the very next day I opened my computer and searched for a nice, good-quality coat. And let me tell you, it didn't take much time and money to find something I really liked. I ordered it right away and here we go.
      Today Evgeny's wish came true - we are going to Philadelphia and I am wearing the coat he really likes on me. Tell you the truth - I like it too!

      This situation made me think... Don't I get too comfortable sometimes and forget that I still need something special and beautiful in my life? And not only for special occasions? 

 

      Do you have any outwear for a special occasion in your closet?
