This €30 Penneys jacket is going to be a godsend come cold winter mornings

The seasons are changing.

Mornings are getting darker, bright evenings are slowly disappearing and the knitted woollies and Chelsea boots are making a reappearance. Ah, autumn. And since it'll be winter the next time we blink, we're prepping ourselves early by stocking up on all the essentials before they're swiped from the stores. The first item on our list of must-haves is a warm winter coat. You know the kind that you can wear on the bus into work feeling snug as a bug on those bitter 7am commutes, yep, that kind of jacket. And this cord wonder from Penneys is both practical and fashionable so yep, we're totally sold.

Penneys - €30

And this isn't the only thing sending us to Penneys with our purses open, the retailer just dropped these Yeezy-esque sock boots too that for €23, you'd be mad not to snap up.

Penneys - €23

According to the website, the boots only come in khaki and brown (and we'll probably purchase both) but we can't imagine they won't be releasing a pair in our favourite colour ever - black. A smart heeled boot always looks slick teamed with a gúna on a night out - as proved by our FAVE Courtney Smith. We just know we'll wear these to death this A/W.
