Lands’ End Outer Wear Girl’s Expedition Parkas Review & Twitter Party Nov 2 #LandsEnd

It’s getting cold outside and I’m not singing, it’s really getting cold outside. Time to get bundled up and Lands’ End is sure to get you nice and toasty while outdoors enjoying the season. This year, the Lands’ End Outerwear collection features fashionable and functional down vests, coats, jackets and parkas, as well as stylish Luxe Wool coats.

Girls Coats:

This year Zoe received one of the Girl’s Expedition Parkas and it’s amazing. The lining comes out giving her a heavy coat, a light coat, and the lining itself can be used as a jacket. To go even further the lining sleeves come off and it can be worn as a vest, plus the parka has the Grow-A-Long™ sleeves that extend up to 1 1/2 inches. See the Fashion Transformation:

Also very easy to zip

Other Girls’ Expedition Parka features:

Waterproof & windproof 3-ply nylon shell
DriOff™ finish sheds the wet stuff
SnowGuard elastic wrist cuffs attach at the thumb to keep out snow & cold
EZ-Zip Tab makes dressing mitten-friendly

Girls’ Expedition Snow Pants:

Zoe also received a pair of winter pants from Lands’ End (Girls’ Expedition Snow Pants) that she can wear in the snow. However, she refused to put them on for me to show for all of you. She says it’s not snowing mom, I’m not wearing them. You know four year olds have quite the opinion sometimes. The Pants have this grow with me feature. They will grow up to an inch and a half and that’s quite valuable as a parent who can watch their kids grow overnight.

Great value for little snow sports.

Water-resistant & windproof 3-ply nylon shell
DriOff™ finish sheds the wet stuff
PolarThin™ insulation adds warmth without bulk
New! Grow-A-Long® hems extend up to 2 inches
Knees & seat double-layered with durable Cordura® nylon

Burlington Coat Factory has Winter Coats but is so much more #giveaway

My sister’s first job was working for Burlington Coat Factory and she was shocked to learn that you can purchase more than just coats. They have a very nice baby section that she looked at a lot while I was busy giving birth. , My two kids are only 12 months apart. But since it is winter time and they are The Coat Factory, let’s check out some coats.

Burlington Coat Factory has clothing and accessories for the whole family from infants to moms and everyone in between. They inspire fall fashion on a budget stories and or Holiday gift guides I remember getting a coat one year. I was so happy. Weird huh, a lot of people don’t like getting functional gifts for Christmas. I do, it kept me warm and I thought I was the stuff with my black leather jacket.. They have coats for everyone in the family under $100, men’s and women’s business attire under $150 and boots for women under $50.

What is your style?

I love the boots. I’m a boot girl, that is one of the best things about living in the Pacific Northwest. I can wear boots from September to June.

About Burlington:

The roots of Burlington Coat Factory Warehouse Corporation (the "Company") go back to 1924 with wholesale sales of ladies coats and junior suits. In 1972, the Company opened its first outlet store in Burlington, New Jersey. Coats were the primary offering at the original Burlington Coat Factory, but over time the concept evolved into a one-stop shopping experience. Extensive selections of men’s and women’s suits, sportswear, shoes, and accessories developed. Highly successful baby and youth departments were created. A linens department was added in 1987

Burlington is offering one of my readers a 50.00 Girt Card.
