Coats anyone?

If you truly love fashion, you know that an outfit can be made with a few good accessories and unique touches. One of my other favorites about Fall and Winter are coats! Any woman (or man for that matter) can really benefit from a well made coat. The most popular brand for a good trench coat is, of course, Burberry. Why? Because Thomas Burberry was the creator of the modern trench coat. Now, as GORGEOUS as their coats are, their prices START at $695. If you really really want a genuine Burberry and you've saved up the money and it's truly worth it to you, then go for it, a Burberry will last you forever. But if you do decide to drop that kind of money on a coat, make sure it's a classic style you can wear for years, not a trendy style.

Here's some options for both trendy and classic styles that don't cost anywhere near $695.

Below is a link for a really cute Herringbone Cape from Chadwicks, it's a great price and very stylish. Notice the leather gloves, gloves like this can be found pretty easily at your local Ross or Marshalls for a good price.

Herringbone Cape

This is another option from Chadwicks that's a little more pricey, but will really punch a statement. For a bolder look, try the poppy red. Want to be more classic? It comes in black as well. One great thing about Chadwicks Online is they have a wide variety of sizes and colors, including petites.

Envelope Collar Coat

One more trendy, cheaper option is this cute plaid coat from Overstock.com. This particular cut is not meant to hug close to your body but rather look more like a cape.

Plaid Double Breasted Coat

I found a beautiful camel colored, mid-calf length fully-lined wool coat at a vintage shop for $20 the other day, so remember to peruse the vintage or thrift stores in your own area. Make sure you wash (or dry clean) before you wear, and, as always...

Happy Shopping!
