As the fall season comes to an end and winter weather begins to roll in, it's time to dig out your winter coats from the back of your closet and figure out what's worth keeping and what's worth donating. To my post-grad girlies: it is time to invest in a good winter jacket that will last you multiple seasons without draining your bank account. We are far past the days of using just a "liquid" jacket when we go out to the bar or club. The question is, is it possible to stay both warm and fashionable? I've done the research, and I can tell you that yes, yes it is very possible. I have gathered jackets for every occasion, vibe, and price range you could imagine, so get in, loser: we're going shopping.
