Marianne: Close Call.

This winter, I really wanted a new coat. Something in a bright color, maybe a peacock blue or marigold. And yet, when I came across this brand new wool J. Crew coat at my favorite consignment store for a great price? I walked away. What is WRONG with me? I sweated over this coat for the next 48 hours until I had a chance to get back. Luckily, it was still there. And come on. This is a pretty cute coat. The coral/watermelon color goes with nothing and therefore goes with quite a lot. Needless to say, I'm pleased. And you've been warned, you're going to be seeing a lot of this.
