My regular readers are well familiar with the fact that winter is my least favorite season.  And so far, this has been the coldest winter I can remember.  To make things even worse, last month I tried to squeeze my then very pregnant belly into my winter coat, and a button popped off, shot across the room, and cracked in two.  I also busted out a seam.  (It was both amusing and pathetic, let me tell you.)  I was able to temporarily repair it, but the coat has definitely seen better days, and with at least two months of winter weather still ahead, I started thinking that it might just be time for a new one.  Besides, what better way to make the best of a less-than-ideal situation (I'm talking to you, Chicago winter from hell) than with something new and fun to wear? 

Any of the outerwear you see above would make me a very happy lady, winter and all.  I think the front runners are the Sophie (which would make a perfect transition-into-spring jacket and is also 60% off right now!) and the super chic Corey, both from Andrew Marc, and the cheery yellow Boxy Coat from H&M.  They're all very different styles, but each one caught my eye for its gorgeous design.

Have any of you invested in a new winter coat this year?  What are your favorite items from the picks above?
