A Tale of Three Coats: No.1 BurdaStyle Vintage Kim Coat

A Tale of Three Coats: No.1 BurdaStyle Vintage Kim Coat

I sniffled and coughed a little as I got dressed this morning. Seems my darling little grandsons may have given me more than I realised for my birthday! I felt a chill in my throat and chest, and went off to get me some warmth. The first thing I grabbed was my pair of black leggings, a wardrobe …
