Truth be told, as much as I am a proud Canadian, I am certainly not a proud fan of our Canadian winters. And as with most of Canadian fall seasons, it appears for a week and then disappears into winter. That said, I am hell-bent on making the most of it (plus, that just means Christmas is around the corner right?). Although, one thing I definitely look forward to with the coming of cold weather is investing in new outerwear (and considering we live in 6 months of cold here in Canada, well, this is what our entire wardrobe should consist of: outerwear).
Plus, a new coat is the perfect pick-me-up for the brisk entrance of winter
I have my eye on a ton of new outerwear for the season, but given outerwear is one of the more expensive investment pieces in your wardrobe, I needed to find the right one (and the right excuse for one). And on one brisk weekend morning, I found my fall must-have coat at a Saks OFF 5TH (on sale – woot woot). And one might just call it my mecca of all coats (at least that I’m coveting right now haha)… the classic black fluff.
Before I start gushing about why this coat is my ultimate fav right now, I have to share the deets about the Saks OFF 5TH Outerwear Sale happening right now (it’s too good not to, and what are friends for right?):
SALE ALERT
SAKS OFF 5TH OUTERWEAR
WHEN:
November 7, 2018 – November 19, 2018

Why This Is My Fall Must-Have Coat
7 For All Mankind Notch-Collar Faux Fur Coat
– The length of this coat is perfect for those days you just need to throw something on and go, but is also perfect for those days you’re dressing up (from sweatpants to galas, real quick!)
– The way that the faux fur is lined and the quality of the jacket makes this baby super warm. It literally feels like being wrapped in a furry burrito (in the chicest way possible)
– I got mine a bit oversized, allowing me to layer it so many different ways, depending on the (temperamental) weather
– If you’re into trends, faux fur and fluffy teddy-like jackets are currently a super hot commodity
– You can actually wear this as a faux fur blazer-dress. Throw on a belt, cinch, and go. You’ll be the chicest (and warmest) chica strutting.
The Deal
You all know I’m a bargain hunter. And when it comes to investing in a piece of outerwear, I am ALL about those deals (especially if I intend on building out my outerwear wardrobe, which is 100% my goal this season). Because I scored this piece during the Saks OFF 5TH Outerwear sale, here’s the deal I got on it:
BRAND:
7 For All Mankind
ORIGINAL RETAIL PRICE:
$547.56
REGULAR SAKS OFF 5TH PRICE:
$269.00
AFTER 30% DISCOUNT:
$188.00
I almost felt like I was stealing, the deal was so good. Is it just me, or does anyone else get a thrill when they’re scoring a good deal? The sale also had a ton of options (I’m definitely thinking of going back for more), including parkas, light-down jackets, leather jackets, and so many cute accessories!
