The Statement Coat

During the coldest months of the winter, we probably spend more time in our coats than ever.  A good coat that keeps us warm and cozy, then, is a must in any winter wardrobe.  While traditional pea coats and basic trench coats serve a purpose, a coat that makes a statement, a bold statement about our style sensibility can truly elevate our winter style.

I found my statement coat last winter season the moment I spotted the Anthropologie Dusken Funnelneck coat.  It’s a beautiful navy coat by Plenty by Tracy Reese that boasts bold multicolored stripes, decorative snap/hook closures, and a funky asymmetrical collar.  The coat originally retailed for $298, but I played the waiting game and secured one for the discounted price of $124.95!

      Thanks, Mary! I had to stalk Anthropologie to secure one at the right price. I just had to have it 🙂

    Love this coat and your site- I found you by searching for images of real women wearing this coat, which I sadly missed out on last year while I waited for it to go on sale. I actually JUST purchased it off poshmark today and in my excitement to receive it, I came back to your site- and lo and behold you are wearing it today! Thanks for the inspiration!
