GOT A TRENCH!

Remember how obsessed I was with oversized pink coats?! Well, after trying on a few... I realized: Not the look for me. Way too trendy. I would just look ridiculous walking around in it.

I did, however, take the plunge on a gorgeous new khaki trench!

It's not perfect... like, I would have liked some classic horn buttons vs. a zipper.

However, it's pretty darn close. I love how simple it is, it's a great weight (not waterproof, but will keep me warm), and it has those extra flaps I love on the front right and on the back.

I was in SoHo shopping last week with a friend when I stopped by French Connection, saw the coat, put it on - and then felt instant chicness!!! You know that's a good sign.

Despite the "convenience" of online shopping - browsing the endless options, sizes, colors, brands from the comfort of your couch, sometimes there's something to be said for going in store, trying it on, looking in the mirror and thinking, This. Rocks.

Here it is:
