Great read! I've been eyeing that COS coat for a few weeks now, but can't decide between a S and M. I want to be able to comfortably wear it with some chunky cashmere roll necks, but still look polished. Would you say it's a generous oversized fit?

It is an oversized fit. I bought an XS. Though I could have worn a S too. I hope that helps?

Hi, did you find something like that in Max Mara? Because no a lot of coats in black this year...

I did not but also haven’t looked at Max Mara. Love their classics always.

I'm really enjoying the newsletter! Also curious about sizing - I try to avoid the carbon footprint of returning online purchases. Do you mind sharing your height and the sizes you are wearing in the COS items?

Of course! I got an XS in the coat and an S in the sweater. I am 5’5”. Hope that helps.

Love this newsletter, so happy I subscribed. Thanks for all your packing tips, worked so well for my trip to Spain. Loving all the new looks from Carven and The Row. Have a suede Row coat in red from many seasons ago that I'm happy I held on to. Wondering if you've looked at the Bette Boot?? Curious about it. and I did buy the Polli coat last season and the weight is perfect for LA. Wore it lots!

Oh lucky you with that Row coat. Or really both. I have not tried the Bette boot. Going to look into it.

So much to contemplate. (And your unbrushed hair and makeup-free face looks French girl cool. So there's that :)

Ha! Thank you. You can’t see my whole face on purpose though.

Jennifer, what got me in your post is your upcoming trip to Sea Ranch. I've visited often, and when my son was little, we'd sit on the beach and dig for treasure, as the sea lions barked and sandpipers piped. You'll just need to be warm and cozy and drink in the Pacific Ocean. It's stunning. Fashion-wise, you'll be perfect!

Love this post Jennifer! I have been eyeing that coat from The Row for a while now as well, but that one from COS looks great—and priced well.

May I ask about sizing? I find COS coats so enormous and I inevitably return them.

Yea I got the XS. The S was good too but felt it was roomy enough in smaller size.

I might have to treat myself to that Cos Coat! Looking forward to lemon yellow for spring- it’s such a fun color and you just helped inspire me. I’m finishing up spring today! xoxo
