Spring swing

Rainy rainy spring-like weather is here and thank God, I don't have to wear my heavy winter coat. I've had this thin wool coat for years but haven't really worn it because of the gigantic shoulder pads a friend just helped me take out.

It's by Escada and I found it in a consignment shop in Toronto. I love the deep blue shade  - worn with the beret it makes me feel tres French for some reason. Same with the swing. It may make me look a wee bit bigger but I just feel so swishy in this coat, like I should be walking down some teeny cobbled street in France.
