Make a Statement for Fall

The Fall runways were glowing in glorious color! Cobalt blue, red, purple and fuchsia to name just a few. Patterns were also a big hit, especially plaid, floral and tweed.

It wasn't just the dresses and separates that were making a statement: coats were a huge part of the collections this season.

So why not fall back into the season by making a statement with a colorful coat? Make that statement even bigger wearing a vintage coat. Step back in time and still look like a fabulous fashionista!

Wish List Consignment in Hanover, Massachusetts has a fantastic selection.

Here are a few of my favorites. (it was hard to narrow my picks!)

These coats may be vintage, but they look like they came off the runways of today.

Belted wool coat with flared bottom and cobalt blue as the main color in the tweed-like pattern.










Early 1950's cobalt blue wool oversized coat with large sleeves. Large sailor collar. So chic!










Gorgeous 1960's fuchsia wool coat with oversized buttons and pleated bottom. So Jackie O!







Mad for plaid...and purple! Plaid 1970's wool cape with matching hat handmade in Ireland.













Herringbone wool coat, with leather trim, extra large pocket and peter pan collar. You'll never lose your keys again!










Military chic was also a big trend for the Fall season. Love this red and black military style coat with gold buttons by Moschino. A true salute to fashion!










Go ultra military chic with this 1967 West Point cadet coat. A stunning salute to a very cool trend.









So what statement will you make when the leaves change and the temperatures dip? Make it a bold one by incorporating a vintage style into your look!
