I live where it’s cold and so a new winter coat purchase can be easily justified. I’m sort of kidding, but when I slipped on the Daphne Bouclé coat at J.Crew, I knew it was going home with me. It’s the sort of coat that’s perfect to throw on over everything. I wore it over workout clothes for a walk on the beach and I plan to wear it to every holiday party. Most of the coats I’ve tried on were a bit oversized making them comfortable and easy to layer under. From a hooded sweatshirt to a sweater with a down vest for extra warmth to a silky blouse, a bouclé coat is the perfect addition to your winter wardrobe.
I love my Bouclé coat with denim and white jeans. My favorite bag is this one from Coach.
For a weekend away I plan to wear my coat over all black – leggings, sweater and a wrap for an overnight flight. I’ll pack 2 pairs of jeans, 2 sweaters, a vest for an extra layer of warmth, an umbrella. It all fits nicely in here. The Bouclé coat is the piece that makes each look a little bit interesting. which is what we love most about this style of coat!

The Daphne Bouclé coat is currently sold out in most sizes at J.Crew. These are some other options and all have a similar oversized fit with roomy pockets. The Old Navy coat is more like a heavy sweater. The perfect coat to throw on over everything.
Love your blog and instagram! I’m Althea’s friend – Heidi – @mamanaughton. Wondered if you would share the source of your white jeans with frayed hem – love them…and of course, regret not scooping up the Boucle coat at J. Crew. Looks great on you!
Hi Heidi!
Have you been into the shop? I hope I get too meet you! Those white jeans are from GAP couple of summers ago. $20 bucks and I love them. A little short, but every length seems to be “in” right now!
Hope to meet you soon Heidi!

Thanks Lisa! It would look better on you with your gorgeous red hair! xx
Annie, You inspire me with your chic yet simple style. This coat is a beautiful piece. Great how you styled it with the white and the regular jeans! I love the Coach bag too. I have an almost identical one that is vintage I got a year ago at a great thrift store. Hope you are enjoying the season. Loved the house gift tags too!! xx Kim
Kim! Vintage is even better!

Good Morning,
I wanted to know how do you keep you boucle coat looking new? I’ve had mine that I purchased from Old Navy for only about a month and have only worn it just a few times, and it already has lint in it and I the fabric looks like someone has been brushing it harshly. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I love this coat and don’t want to have to get rid of it.
I think Bouclé is meant to have a pulled or looped uneven look to it, but if you’ve noticed a difference after only a couple of times wearing it, I would take it back! I’ve worn my coat more times than I can count and only use a sticky lint roller before I walk out the door. And that’s really more for hair etc. Sorry you had trouble with your coat!
