In recent weeks I had discovered your blog and I love it. I have the same style that you do and love the prep look. I'm so glad I found your blog.

I had to come back to this post because I thought of you on Monday when I was walking through the mall and saw a beautiful pink trench coat at New York & Co. I don't know if you've seen it, but looking at your blog it looks like something you would enjoy. I know I loved the pink. That pop of color was so pretty.

I have a black waist length trench that I got at Charming Charlie. I have really enjoyed it. It has been great for this yo yoing weather we have in Virginia. And I know you know all about that!

I work at a J.Crew and I am so in love with the navy matinee trench! It absolutely fits perfectly and the navy is timeless.

I wear mine all the time too! Even though I'm a little short -- I just went for a shorter trench. It's such a great staple. And I love the red one!

I vote for the navy! The orange is great, but it rains during every season in DC, and the navy will go with dark fall colors and nautical summer Vineyard Vines prints (and won't overwhelm them). Also, a trench is something you'll have forever, and orange might not be your favorite in a few years!

Love the trench coat

Ah, yours is so cute! Such a classic. :)

I managed to get a Burberry on ebay a few years ago for under $100. It's bright red, and so amazing that I occasionally use it as an excuse to wear a lame outfit and just not take my coat off.

I love trenches! I've been lusting after a Burberry but I may have to wait a little while for one :/

I just love my trench! I'm studying abroad in Edinburgh right now and the weather is so unpredictable...I'm so thankful to have a nice looking coat that keeps me dry in case of rain :)
Mine's a classic London Fog and has a lovely wool lining! I'm in love.
Cheers! xx

I love my trench! Mine's from Michael Kors and has a removable wool lining, so I can wear it as my default coat in the winter and on those odd rainy days in the summer. I tie the belt into a neat little bow - it takes a bit of practice at first but looks super cute!
P.S. Re: the matinee trench... for me, I would get the blue, but I think you would suit the red! xx

Since you already have a neutral classic I definitely think you should go for the modern red! It is so pretty and fun!

I love trench coats! I bought my first one right before I studied abroad in France and absolutely loved it! Yours looks great!

I love trench coats! I think they're the easiest way to polish an otherwise casual outfit. The first one I owned was actually under $40, a cognac colored trench from Old Navy that fit like a glove. I've since also upgraded to a beige Burberry trench which is possibly my most worn item. I love them in fall with a scarf and boots, or in spring with boyfriend/weekend jeans (slightly loose and cuffed to expose the ankle), flats, and a bright cardigan. Fail-proof outfits for a college campus :-)

I've been obsessed with trenches ever since I got my first one from Zara. It's a shorter, tan one though so I'd love to get a longer tan one! I'm coveting the navy matinee trench!

I love trench coats! I have a tan one, and I adore it. It literally goes with everything!
Hope you're having a good semester!

i love trench coats as well, but i still dont own a single one. Ive been going back and forth about purchasing a Burberry one.

Hope your semester is going well!

2012-01-31T08:55:35.586-05:00

Trenchs are the best! I have a shiny gray one that I pair with a gray scarf with silver stripes, and black knee length boots. I have never failed to get compliments, and envious stares. Again, the best! :)

2012-01-31T01:33:14.793-05:00

I have that Banana trench! It replaced the Gap one that I had left in my accounting class and never saw again. (not the only awful thing accounting did to me. You can account-me-out. Worst class.)

Cute I love trench coats!

I LOVE trenches! They are so classic, a khaki one is a great place to start! I got a houndstooth one in Paris and I wear it at least twice a week, SO flattering!

2012-01-31T00:04:44.002-05:00

I have the navy matinee trench - I bought it before I went abroad to the UK in the fall, and it was quite possibly the greatest purchase ever. I'd go with the navy, but maybe that's just because I love mine so much!
