I spent most of the day purging my closet yesterday. It’s something I like to do when the seasons transition. As much as I love coats – you wouldn’t believe how many I own – I found myself whittling down my collection to essential pieces in grey, camel, white and navy that I have actually owned for years. It just goes to show that neutral, minimalist coats are timeless and absolutely worth the investment!
