In My Bag: Fitted Trench Coat

It may have just snowed this past weekend, but I was shopping for a lighter coat so I'm prepared for when the weather does change to something warmer. This Spring is all about choosing a signature piece, so when you're picking wardrobe items, make sure you have a great coat to pull the look together. This Banana Republic trench is so fabulous -- as soon as I tried it on I knew it was the one for me. It's the traditional trench coat but the belt and waist pleats make it so feminine and flattering so it will look great with dresses and denim alike. In my opinion, it's a very luxurious buy for only $198. The creamy buff color makes it a sophisticated neutral to pair with everything in your closet. FYI, Banana's new spring collection hit the floor only a week ago and I was able to score the last coat in stock at the location I went to, so if you're in the market for a new coat, you may want to start looking for one now. I guarantee trench coats will be a hot ticket this upcoming season!
