Since Fall is presumably on it's way (taking it's sweet time I might add) I decided to do this post of "GET IT FOR LESS" about a great transitional wardrobe piece, the trench coat. Chic, stylish, and reminiscent of espionage and film noir movies, the trench coat is a versatile piece that is a staple for any closet. Going out in public and don't feel like dressing up? Throw on a belted trench over a tee and jeans with boots and dark shades and you have instant sophistication. Great for when the weather is chilly outside, but doesn't require a snowsuit and boots to travel around in.
Here's some high priced and covetable pieces:
You probably know by now how much I adore leopard print- but would I seriously part with $3,795 for this Lanvin coat? Not likely.
Same goes for this Alice by Temperley "Bonita" coat for $1,095. To me, that's a fortune which I don't have.
I do admit that if it's high quality and long lasting then sometimes it's worth it to invest your money in something that will remain in your closet a long time. I would be much more willing to spend a little more money on these pieces:
BB Dakota $120.00 revolveclothing.com
Betsey Johnson $225 Bluefly.com
Nicole Miller $148.99 Bluefly.com
And if those are still not within your budget, check out these options:
Maurices $49.00 maurices.com
Wilson's Leather $44.96 wilsonsleather.com
BB Dakota $45.00 Karmaloop.comDon't overlook your local Goodwill and thrift stores, you may be able to find a great trench at a fraction of the price that's still in good shape. Let me know if there's anything you want me to compare for the next "GET IT FOR LESS" post.
