spring coat...

Like any real Chicagoan, I am cursing March/winter/this weather!!!!! A girl can only take so much snow+cold+wind. A couple of 50 degree days are nice and all but....

The second the stores put out their spring collections, I was over winter. I need sunshine and 70 degree weather STAT. Why must they tease us????

Since we do have a looooooooooong (and wet and windy) transition period here in Chicago, I am on the hunt for the perfect late winter/spring coat.



I am totally obsessed with finding the perfect hunting/anorak/surplus jacket. Preferably in a charcoal gray. My 19 year old sister has this awesome army green version and I feel too old wearing something that my teenage sister does... BUT I AM ONLY 20 **cough**. Also, in need of a little wood handled clutch that would fit like $5 and my keys and nothing else.


I may not be a teenager, but I still feel too young for a full on khaki trench coat. I am hunting down the perfect cropped red trench with oversized collar and gold buttons. Is that too much to ask for?? And since I love blinding people with my disregard for color "rules" I would totally pair it with one of those romantic blush pink dresses this spring.
