My 1st official act as a blogger…
It is about time I retire my winter coat. It’s an Old Navy peacoat from five years ago and it looks worn. It used to be black, now the color could be called a really faded black-gray. Also, it was not as warm as it could have been and everyone knows I am that girl that gets cold easily. And because I will be up in Pa every other weekend or so, I might as well jump on that coat-wagon.
I love this Ben Sherman coat:
(from South Moon Under)
It comes in black as well, but I think the ivory stands out. I’m a little afraid to try it on since I have a feeling that I will look a little more like someone with no neck and a little less like Grace Kelly. Also I’m afraid that I will love it to death and I will throw all of my winter clothing budget out the window for one coat.
Besides the funnel neck uncertainty, I adore the rest of the coat. The buttons, the way the sleeves are done, and perhaps most importantly, it looks like the pockets are flaps and hidden. For some reason I cannot stand the kind of coat pockets that you can actually see. It is a very nit-picky thing and it drives whoever is shopping with me crazy. I’ve rejected so many coats, just on the basis of the pocket.
For example:
Don’t get me wrong, I think the coat is cute, but the visible pocket? Nein, nein, nein.
Eh, the search continues…

Hi there! I just wanted to let you know that the Ben Sherman coat you are referring to is absolutely gorgeous and in regards to your concern about the neck, it actually fits more like a cowl neck then a turtleneck. If the Grace Kelly look is what you are going for, this coat will be perfect! Unlike most winter coats, this jacket fits to the body, so you can still feel feminine and show off your figure. I already bought the black one for myself and I am seriously considering the Ivory. It never hurts to have more than one color! If you would like to order the coat, please use the promotional code “shop” at the end of your order and you will receive free shipping.
And if you need a new pair of denim to go along with this fabulous coat, we are currently offering $20 off your favorite brands including 7 For All Mankind, Citizens of Humanity, True Religion and much much more!
