The weather for my trip to Wisconsin was less than amazing, shall we say. Most days were below zero degrees Fahrenheit! So, there was no way I was shooting any outfit posts unless they were featuring a coat, haha.
I loved that this coat was bright and cheery in the gloomy, cold weather. Although, my photos do make this coat look brighter than it really is. It’s more on the mustard end of the color spectrum – FYI. And it’s also only $24! I have to say, though, with the frigid weather we were having this coat was not quite warm enough. I was wearing a super thick sweater under it, though. So, it’s roomy enough to add some serious layers if you want to wear it in winter.
A few things to note too, and I might be getting a bit nit picky here, but the sleeves are just a smidge too short for me as well. I don’t usually have this problem with shirts or coats, though. And the coat does only button on the very top, not all the way down. Also, it runs big…I sized down one whole size.
This coat is from a new-to-me company – PopJulia. They have affordable options, but just be aware that the shipping can take a couple of weeks, as they are based out of Asia. And for their prices, I am happy with the quality of the coats I received from them. (I’ll be featuring one more coat in an upcoming blog post – stay tuned.)
Please excuse the wrinkles in this last photo! I was driving home from Grandparent’s house to my parent’s house – which is a 3 hour drive, when I realized I hadn’t snapped a photo of the back of the coat. Doh! So, my husband took this for me in a parking lot, haha. (And I had been sitting on this coat for awhile.)
Had to share that photo! It was from my grandparent’s house too – they live in such a beautiful area!

Beautiful photos with snow.
Xoxo, Florencia

Me too! Mustard has become my “go-to” color this last year. Thank you!
Sometimes I wish we have winter in the Philippines so i could enjoy the winter clothes (but that aint gonna happen). I like your coat, and its popping!
Thank you so much, Blair! 🙂
I LOVE that coat! How pretty is the yellow on you? And what a bargain price. I see your Kate Spade bag is no longer pink! How did I miss all this drama before? Lol.

Aw, thank you so much, Lorna! Haha! Yes! No longer pink – that was such a mess lol.
Love the color of the coat! Looks amazing on you Sweety! Always love your posts from Mom and Dad’s house! So beautiful up there.
Enjoyed our time together while you were home!
Love you!
Aw, thank you so much, Aunt Wendy! It was great to spend time with you too. 🙂 Love you!
Wow! What a view. I am envious of your grandparents home hahaha! I’m also loving the colour of that coat. Like a ray of sunshine ;o)

Haha! Right? They have the best view. 🙂 And thank you so much!
Ahhh I love a pop color coat! They definitely dominate my wardrobe. I so love the mustard color of this one! Definitely appreciate the note about the sleeve length – as everything about me is tall and/or long, I always struggle with sleeves! Most look like 3/4 sleeves (and so many dresses can approach babydoll territory REALLY quickly.) You look amazing though – the perfect pop against that wintery wonderland!

Aw, thank you, Kara! Haha! I just read your colorful outfit post too. Sleeves are not usually a problem with me, but when it does happen it’s so annoying. Sorry you have to deal with that!
I love mustard color, dear Lindsey! It does sound bright, but I know that pictures are this way, always with a different shade. I loved the place, against snow it looks so amazing – I am sure it is, in person. And you look so beautiful, lovely boots and bag! Don’t worry about the wrinkles, it’s perfectly normal. I understand about the sleeves, but funny as it may sound, I always go to a seamstress to shorten sleeves that look perfectly normal – and then they always look too short, but I can only use something that way 🙂 Hope you enjoy a nice week!!!! Hugs!

Aw, thank you, Denise! I hope you have a nice week too! Hugs!
What a fun coat! I am all about adding a pop of color to winter outfits. You look fabulous in yellow, not everyone can pull it off.
Oh gosh, thank you so much, Courtney!
I have a coat in a very similar color and I’m OBSESSED with it! It’s actually a similar cut to yours too! Yours looks great 🙂

Yay! Coat twins! Haha. And thank you so much, Lee!
The brighter the better in my opinion, LIndsey!! I mean, how else can we find people if they are in a sea of black coats??
XOXO
