Thrifted 60's Coat Refashion

I found a fantastic coat at the thrift store, but alas it was too big. I love the 60's a-line style, the color, and the big texture of the weave. I checked the construction and saw that it would be easy to alter. I ended up taking in 4" on each side, but I kept the a-line style because that's one of the things I fell in love with.

I love the 3/4 length sleeves. I can wear bright long sleeves for a fun accessory.

It's thick and warm, easily dressed up and easily dressed down. I'm pretty sure it's my new favorite coat.
