/ / 6 Comments
Okay I’ll finally admit it…winter is coming :(. I am a HUGE believer in investing in a great winter coat. I bought a new winter coat last year from Hessnatur (saaadly, closed US shop) but before that I used the same one for 5 years!!!

So I’ve been looking for a striped dress for a while and was so happy to find this guy at American Apparel.
