Happy Monday From Cleveland!
I hope you all had a lovely weekend! Especially knowing it is a short week due to Thanksgiving. Are you getting ready for some black Friday sales? I don’t really need anything, and the hype kind of stresses me out. I’d rather buy something when I need it than have to feel an urgency to buy something just because it is on sale. Just me? Probably not.
We are in Cleveland celebrating an early Thanksgiving with my family, then continuing on to DC to celebrate with Dan’s side of the family! Sidney has already done this exact drive once when she was 2 months old, so she’s a pro.
Coats of Many Colors
So while I nurse I like to watch tv shows. It relaxes me and is easier to watch something rather than read or just sit in silence. I stumbled upon Reese Witherspoon’s new show called Shine On where she interviews women who are doing/have done great things, and her first interview was with the one and only Dolly Parton! They talked about her song Coat of Many Colors, and it got me thinking. If you’re not familiar with the song, Dolly sings about a coat her mother sewed her out of colorful rags that she was so proud of.
My coat of many colors
That my momma made for me
Made only from rags
But I wore it so proudly
Although we had no money
I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me
It’s such a beautiful message. It doesn’t matter how much you paid for a garment, if it is trendy at the moment, or if anyone else thinks highly of it. What does matter is if you love what you wear and whether it has meaning to you.
So today’s post is dedicated to coats of many colors. A rainbow moment to remind us that style is so much more than just the clothes on our backs – it is our display of confidence in our personalities and styles.

What a beautiful coat! I love this soft blue color on you! I have a pink coat from Boden I enjoy wearing, as it is a nice change from grey and black.
I was totally thinking of this song when I did my post a couple of weeks ago lol1 I love it and I love Dolly. It’s such a sweet song with a great message!

You’re looking darling in your colorful coat and white booties. I’m well familiar with Dolly’s song–it’s amazing she’s making yet another comeback!
Love ALL of these coats! I swear, I have more jackets than I have pairs of jeans. But you can’t ever have too many colors or weights!
So many wonderful coats! Loving how well your coat goes with the pretty skirt. A beautiful look!

Aw, I love Dolly Parton and that is one of my favorite songs! Your light blue coat is gorgeous. I need some more colorful coats in my life! I just went coat shopping and ended up with darker colors as usual. Grrr. Such a great outfit you have styled with your fun coat!
