the coat wars


When fall rolls around, there are two things that shoot up on my "must buy" radar: a sturdy pair of boots and a trusty coat. Right now, these are what I'm looking at, but the decision is proving to be tough. Girlfriends, I need your help. Which coat would you choose?



The Pink Coat

PRO:  It's pink! From powdery shades to bubblegum ones, I love them all. 

The unexpected brightness will make fall/winter feel less drab.

CON: Even though I' like to think of myself as continuously fashionable, let's be real: I'm a college student. 

I often wear workout clothes to class. Will this work in my everyday wardrobe?  


The Plaid Coat

PRO:  I love plaid for the fall. On a coat, I think the pattern makes for an interesting change up.

It would also be exciting to have my first patterned coat

CON: I'm afraid the pro is also the con. Will I get tired of seeing that pattern? And will I be able to wear it with the rest of my closet? 


The Camel Coat

PRO:  Camel is timeless and chic. I know that it'll go with just about everything in my closet.

It'll easily compliment my other fall colors (burgundy, hunter green, navy, gray, black). 

CON: It's so safe! A camel coat can be a little Plain Jane.

  1. PINK - You'll tire of plaid, but pink will remain fun and look fresh all season, right into spring. The only time I would say camel is if you have an amazing collection of scarves to dress up that camel coat with. Camel is classic, and a great one if you are going to buy a more expensive coat, but it also looks very dull and plain when winter gets dreary.

  2. They are all so pretty! Personally I would go for the camel one. Then you can dress it up with nice scarves in all sorts of colours and patterns. That way you can make a change when you need it and the coat might last for one, or two, more seasong

  6. They really are all gorgeous so I feel your frustration. The sensible choice would be the camel one, but you have enough time to be sensible after you graduate college. Get the pink one!
