Women's Plus Short Wool-Blend Coats

$82.00 at Old Navy

A not so secret truth about me is that I rarely wear coats. I don't like them.  I just don't like the idea of knowing eventually I'll be carrying that coat around once I've reached my destination. If I know that I can get away with it, I'll dash from one heated place to another never having to worry about the bothersome on and off associated with wearing outerwear.

Unfortunately, for me at least, there are times when nothing less than a warm coat will do. Thankfully there are some fabulously cute options in outerwear for plus size women and some great pricing too.

This cute double breasted wool coat is nicely priced and comes in three colors,saucy red, black and chinchilla.

This was so cute, I had to share. Normally, I'm really not a big fan of denim jackets, but this denim ruffled coat by Dereon just might have changed my mind. Check out the detailing and those cuffs, just too sassy!

One Winter "must" that is sure to flatter any body shape is a Trench Coat. You can get this wardrobe staple in a variety of colors and fabrics to help keep you warm and stylish when it's cold outside!
