This Gal's Unusual Christmas List

I started this list a few weeks ago, I'm not really sure why, but I'm glad I did. Sometimes I find that when I put my goals into writing they have a better chance at actually happening. When I revisited it a couple of days ago, I thought, 'hmm, this is like my own little personal Christmas list.' Obviously, none of these things can actually be done before Christmas, but it's like they always say, it's the thought that counts. I narrowed down my semi-long list to five of the goals I most want to reach and you can read them after the cut.

Staying Warm this Winter 60s Style

I set out and actually wrote an entire post about my current knitting work in progress. But more pressing things have come to light. And nothing, in my eyes, is more pressing than vintage fashion. As you will soon learn, I have a little bit of a thing for vintage clothing, movies, music... basically anything.  Surprise, surprise, I'm listening to Bobby Darin as I write this post.

With the weather taking a turn down Depressing Lane today, I decided to pull out my vintage coat from the 60s and wear it... for the first time, even though I bought it a years ago. 

Honestly, I have no idea why I haven't been wearing it every winter since I got it. I don't think I have ever owned a winter coat that's as warm as this one. We'll see if I say the same when it's 25 below zero before wind chill.

I think my favorite part about this coat is that it has the ILGWY tag on the inside, which is one of the tell-tale signs that an article of clothing is vintage. I do hope however, that one day I'll have at least a few articles of clothing with these labels in them that I won't be excited to see this one anymore.

One thing I did realized while wearing this today is, I'm going to need some new hats and gloves to wear with this since the ones I'm currently wearing don't go with it at all.
