Warm, wooly, cozy, practical and fun, a Bessie Bird Coat is just what you need for playing outside in the winter. Keep it simple with just the colorful striped belt or make it truly lovely by decorating the pockets with two Bessie Birds. Either way, it looks good and it extra snug worn with the Winter Warmer hat and scarf.
