We have a tradition in our family, a hand-me-down tradition. Items go from Chloe to Alexa and sometimes down to cousin Annabel. For the last few years we have been wearing raincoats from Hatley. The tradition started with a gift from Auntie Kim to Chloe. She bought the black bear rain coat, and we fell in love with it. The coats (insert my plug for them)are extremely well made and lined which is key for cold Vermont fall rains. When that coat got to be too small we were excited to find that a Hatley store had opened up on Church Street. I took Chloe in to pick out a new coat. She picked the exact same coat pattern as before and the old one passed on to Alexa. The last few years we have sported this look whenever we went out on a rainy day.
Matching called a lot of attention to us. Everywhere we went people commented on these coats and that the girls matched. Sadly the coat is getting a little small. It was time to upgrade. We went back to the store today and Chloe picked out horses.
The matching days are over. Well... maybe not. Coming to an Annabel near you....
one black bear raincoat and an Alexa to match.
