Hey Curvy girls,
The past few days have been super sunny and nice in my hometown NYC. I love the beginning of spring because the air is so fresh and people are nicer. Most importantly, I love the spring weather because it gives me a chance to wear one of my favorite trench coats.
Three years ago, I found this really great DKNY ( Donna Karan is one of my favorite designers) bright red trench coats at Century 21 in Brooklyn for $80. When I saw the price tag I couldn’t believe they were selling this great quality trench for $80 marked down from about $200.
Once I bought this coat, I never bought another trench for the past three years. This coat was a star on it’s own, I needed to wear it everyday. So, today I just wanted to share my favorite trench coat with you.
Since the red trench gets dirty so fast (NYC transit), this year I decided to purchase another one to hold me down until I get the ASOS trench I posted up last week. The Old Navy trench is just a classic double breasted khaki trench, nothing spectacular. I don’t shop in Old Navy often, but, when I do, I try to go for the basics, this way I don’t have to worry about seeing every Harriet and Jane in the same thing.
I also checked out a few other trench coats on line for those of you who are looking for a new trench coat.
Options for my fellow curvy girls:
The red looks great agaist yout complexion. You look great in both pics. Work it girl!
The red coat really brightens up your face. Thanks for the sugggestions of trench coats.
I love a great trench, such a classic piece that every woman needs. And the bright color is great for spring and looks awesome on you.
Thanks guys.
i recently ordered the old navy trench. i debated whether i should buy the women’s 1X/2X or the 1X in womens plus. i finally decided on the womens plus. when i stopped in the store to see what else they had, i found 1 lonely 1X plus. it didn’t work for me. i don’t know if it was the style or cut but it was just blah on me so as soon as it’s delivered, i’m exchanging it for someting else. in the meantime, i fell in love with the storm flap mac from dorothy perkins.
@Asha- The 1X fit me a little big too, but, I am going to have mine taken in a little bit for a snugger fit. Yes, Dorothy Perkins has some awesome mac jackets.
You are working it and I hope you picked up both coats because they look amazing on you.
