Shag Jacket // via Megann at Dash of Glamm

One of the cardinal rules of a midwest blogger is that you must have a collection of cute coats. Let's be real, it's the only way to make long winters feel a bit more bearable.

How amazing is this shag coat from one of our chicago bloggers Megann at Dash of Glamm?
