Caroline’s Amazing Technicolor Dream-coats

Posted on October 21st, 2009 by BroccoliHut

As the seasons change, and the temperatures drop, I get a little twinkle in my eye—not only does it mean that Christmas is on its way, but it also means that I get to bust out my ever-expanding coat collection. You must understand that my taste in outerwear is far from ordinary in that I choose my coats like I choose my foods—I am all about the color, baby.

My infatuation with these vibrant garments all began just before my 17th birthday. While shopping with my mom, I fell in love with a turquoise coat, complete with polka-dot lining. I was fortunate enough to receive that coat for my birthday that year…little did my mom know that she would be cultivating yet another obsession in her daughter. Observe:

Hmm, it appears that I am missing a few colors from the rainbow. Purple seems like a good idea, no?

Now, onto the colorful grub:

Monday

Peach-pineapple: not only is it pleasantly alliterative but it also tastes mighty fine.

Tuesday

A decidedly protein-poor breakfast this morning. At least it included copious amounts of my beloved wheat germ.

A Greek salad was on the menu for lunch. The toasted pita triangles made excellent vehicles for Rachel’s Cucumber Dill cottage cheese.

When I returned from an evening of tutoring, I was ready for some food—fast! Accordingly, I made a batch of scrambled tofu. Dee-lish.

Alright, I am off to chat with Mumsy. Good night!

    Eh, who needs protein when you can have carbs? ;)

    I love turquoise… but coats = cold weather = not so fun.

    Love your turquoise coat anyways…

    Where does Daddy-o teach? Lovely coats! Sadly, I don’t have too many and I mostly wear my North Face fleece since it never gets that cold down here (minus this morning!!!!)

    I’m all about colorful coats too :) My favorite is my bright blue and emerald green one (I LOVE your green one too!). I agree that purple is definitely a great color to get next. I think I’m in need of a purple one myself…

    Yummy scrambled tofu!

    Love brightly colored coats! In Belgium they were only into black and didn’t understand why I’d want to buy a purple one. What fun is that?!

    Hi Caroline,

    I love your revamped site. I was wondering if you could tell me how much you had to spend for it. And was it a difficult process to deal with the changes? (I.e. did you have to move things around/did things act up after the change?)
    I really hope it’s ok that I write this here. If not, feel free to delete it. I have a blog and normally comment on your site under my blog name, but I feel a bit weird asking this, so I wanted to remain anonymous. But in case you are uncomfortable discussing money on your blog, I’m leaving my question on an old post.
