I Fell in Love with a Cobalt Blue Coat

I haven't purchased a new fall coat in probably about 8 years. Our fall season is so short lived that I find I never really need one long enough to justify buying a new one. That said, if I find one I semi like while out shopping around, I normally try it on or check it out. Most of the time, I don't love it enough to buy it and continue on.

This past weekend I tried on two coats that I fell in love with. I walked away from both and I am hoping one of them goes on sale.

Let's start with one that I tried on and was really cute but didn't fit me right. It was the J Crew Downtown Field Jacket . I tried it on in the green and wished so bad that it fit better. It was way too boxy for me and had no shape.

 

 

 

 

I then headed to Jacob where I tried on this coat and really loved the fit of it. The problem was that I have a winter jacket that's basically identical to this that I still love. It didn't make sense buying something that was so similar to what I already own. It was cute though!

 

 



 

 

 

Lastly, Banana Republic. I fell in love with the most gorgeous Cobalt Wool Coat. The fit is perfect, it's well made, warm AND I don't own anything in this colour. Sadly, it's a bit too expensive for me so I passed it up. It's also wool so I'm guessing it's more of a winter coat anyways. I will say that it is very rare for me to instantly love something as much as I loved this..le sigh!!

 



 

 

 

See, I feel like by the time I decide what I even want, fall will be over and I'll be busting out my winter jackets.
