Italian Fashion Question 3 - Whether the Weather Is Cold

Once again, to all of you who answered my past Italian Fashion Questions or just left a comment - Thank You!! :) 

I hate being cold. My allergies mess up, my eczema flares up, it makes my skin flakey, and I have to always put on and take off clothes as I walk in and out of buildings. But I guess I gotta suck it up if I'm going to Italy. I read that the average temp in Feb and March is below 65 degrees. Homie don't play that. 

Question 3: What is the weather like in Italy? In particular, what is it like in Winter in Rome? How cold does it get? What do you wear to stay warm?

I guess that means I have to actually invest in a coat. I don't have one! Can you believe it? Well...I do, but it's a furry yet beautiful monstrosity of a coat that does the job, but looks silly. I love it, but I'm going to need another one. I am obsessed with Cape Coats. I have been for a loooong time (see me gush about them here and here) They are pretty prevalent in expensive high fashion brands like Louis Vuitton and Rag and Bone, but the trend did not really catch on for the more affordable labels. So unfortunately every Cape Coat I have seen and fallen in love with is SUPER EXPENSIVE. *sigh* Story of my life. 

You've heard of the term Drama Queen? Well this style- It's a Drama-Coat. I love it!
