Morning Line: September 29
Sep 29, 2015
Two housekeeping items…
- This week, the morning posts will be all about outerwear because it is getting chilly out there.
- There will be more posts today, they will just be delayed til this afternoon. I am fighting a cold, and I want to sleep a solid 10 hours tonight in the hopes that I beat it.
Corner Office
Burberry Kensington Trench ($1,895)
Middle Cubicle
Ann Taylor The Icons Classic Trench ($228)
Intern Desk
Calvin Klein Double Trench Coat ($99)
Plus-size: Ralph Lauren Skirted Trench Coat ($265)
Perfect timing for this post. I purchased a Zara trench, which was quite beautiful and fit surprisingly well… However, the lining absolutely shredded over a few months of pretty standard wear. I had it repaired on the cheap (they sewed the tears, rather than sew an entirely new lining) but now the entire coat pulls in a funny way when I wear it. Haven’t purchased much form Zara since. Loving the ‘draping’ trench look this Fall but looking for something more a long these lines that will carry me between seasons.
Feel Better Belle!
Hope you’re feeling better! Question: How do you feel about the cape trend?
I ordered one from Boden… I’m hoping I like it!
Love the Burberry trench. Boy, they are expensive, but they really last and last. I have one that is going into its 10th year, and I wear it constantly. I haven’t had to so much as clip a loose thread. I’m considering investing in one of the red ones they just released this fall.
I’d love recommendations for a trench coat in a color other than khaki. (It’s just not me.) What color is best for a professional work environment? Is black acceptable?
I think black is good. A dark navy is also nice. Even a burgundy could be fun.
That Burberry trench is just perfect. One day.
