Dress Coat



I'm totally into jackets and coats right now. I mean really into 'em. And I have been drooling over this coat at Old Navy of all places but decided I can't pay $100 for a coat I can do without. Until today. Thanks to my awesome little sis I was told Old Navy has their coats on sale for 50% off. Yes! Then I noticed they still have their 30% off sale and free shipping for cardholders (me!) and Ebates is offering a 10% rebate for Old Navy this week. SO...I scored this sweet dolly for$30. And Dave a badly needed new jacket for $30 and Easton a winter coat for $13.(shhh, it may be a xmas present) I think I am floating with glee.

But, I couldn't decide...camel or cream? I looove the cream but would it get filthy carrying boys around? I'll wear this to church, evenings out, dressier occasions only, I think. Camel is so completely classic, though. Also, the cream has a heavier basket weave texture which is cool but the camel has a flat classic wool texture which is sleek and awesome. And don't you love the bell sleeves? So I got both, but need help deciding which to return when it arrives. Opinions please?!?!

My favorite is the camel one, the white will get dirty or dingy. The coat is so cute!

hmmmm....tough decision. I have a cream colored coat that is similar and I absolutely love it...but I will admit, it IS more difficult to keep clean. They are both colors that go with a lot of things...but if your intent is to use it for church, evenings out and dressier occasions, I'd go with cream. If, for just a great all around coat...tan. Can't go wrong with either really. :)

I love a white winter coat. If you only wear it to church and evenings out it shouldn't get too dirty very fast. For $30 bucks/pc. Keep both of them!

I think the Camel color will last longer.

I liike the camel, but either would be really cute.

Dave said...

Coming from a guy, I go pratical - camel all the way. We can't keep anything white (or cream) looking clean in our house very long. Plus camel still looks classy.

Camel! So Cute! or BOTH Since they were only $30!

Thanks for all your input! Don't get mad I didn't follow everyone though...I chose cream! So unpractical and so beautiful :)
