The Trench Coat & An Oldie Outfit Post

Hey girls!  How has your week been?  We've had some pretty nasty weather here!  Work was even canceled Wednesday!  That never happens!  But I'm back to work..  Wasn't it great when we were younger and in school, and had those snow days!   Oh how I loved those!  How about you?

On another note, I got a Kohl's gift card for Christmas and have yet to use it so I have been looking online to see what new items Lauren Conrad's collection has.  I usually love her stuff.  I came across a lovely spring colored trench coat!


I love how the shade is different from what you would expect for a trench coat!  And it gets me so in the mood for spring!  I've never owned a trench coat before, but it's one of those things I've always wanted.  I've wanted a basic camel/tan shade for a long time.  That's what I've always had in mind.  

Think Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's:



And although, I still think that look is fabulous, I wouldn't mind having a sort of robin egg blue shade trench coat!  Would you?  It also happens to be on sale at Kohls.com right now for $57.99, originally $84.  So be sure to check it out here.

I was looking through my flash drive and noticed I never shared this with you girls!  As you can tell, it was taken in a dressing room....... :)  A few months ago actually, when I was looking for a winter coat, I came across this cute trench coat from H & M.  It was somewhere around $30, and although I was really torn, I didn't end up buying it.  It just wasn't practical to buy right then, with being in the beginning of a bitter cold winter, and really needing a thicker warmer coat, I couldn't validate getting this one as well.......

Do you ever come across cute clothes, but end up walking away from them, because it's not what you need at the time, or you know you shouldn't be spending money on that right now?

Also, do any of you own a trench?  If so, what shade is yours??  A traditional one?  Or a bolder color?
Love to know!  And I hope you all are having a lovely start to your weekend! 

* I just wanted to say a quick thank you to everyone who left such encouraging comments on the blog this last week!  It was so appreciated!  Thank you!  Monday didn't end up being the "finale" of it all.  It's so hard to explain, but our family will be finding out more on February 16th.  So we will just have to wait and see.  But I can't tell you all how much your uplifting comments and prayers meant to me! :)
