It's an odd piece, probably meant as outerwear(?) but too cute to hang on a hook. So I wore it over a simple tee and black pencil skirt. My spider-web Cydwoq booties really sing along nicely with this look, I think.

It was actually comfortable all day, not too bulky or hot. Love!
Hope you have a spectacular Thursday. ☺
Very cute! And those booties are divine.
ReplyDeleteGreat find and well styled! i seem to be starting a collection of trenches and now own 5! I wish I could say they are thrifted finds I scored for a deal, but nope....
ReplyDeleteReally cute jacket!! It has loads of potential in your wardrobe!! Love how you styled it but i agrre--a bright scarf would really be the icing!!
ReplyDeleteThose booties are way-cool!!
It's definitely a shape that really suits you, Patti. The outfit might be monochrome but the boots and the satin-y sheen of the trench add glamour and interest. I like it very much! xxxx
ReplyDeleteYou say it doesn't feel pricey, but in the picture it has an expensive look to it.
ReplyDeleteGreat find!
Becky :)
Out of the ballpark again! I love the unexpected fabric; the sheen and the way it drapes add interest and make it feminine. I never thought I'd see a trench that looks sexy rather than utilitarian--this one is more like Secret Agent Provacateur. And my lord, do I love the booties...
ReplyDeleteI love a dressy coat - this looks lovely on you, Patti! The boots are so fab!
ReplyDeleteThose boots are just stunning and the coat is very slinky, you look like a bad ass spy! x
ReplyDeleteSuper edgy and chic! I need to see those shoes up close!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a cute and comfortable clothing article .. such a great price!

Really cute...love the edge and the booties!!
ReplyDeletePattie, that outfit rocks, you look fantastic! From the front and from behind.
ReplyDeleteI like the monochrome! It lets the sheen of the fabric and print of your boots stand out. These trench shapes definitely work on you, Patti. I still can't get over your awesome score on those boots. I pine for another pair of Cydwoqs, but alas such small sizes are hard to come by.
ReplyDeleteI love the boots! I checked out their website. All the styles are so uniques. I love the heel. Me being 5'11", I don't need to wear a high heel. :)
ReplyDeleteThere must be something in the air -- the standout piece to me at my friend Zang Toi's fashion show last month was a trench gown! http://wendybrandes.com/blog/2013/02/what-wendy-wore-gold-lame-at-zang-tois-show/
ReplyDeleteOK, after catching up, post-holiday, I am now totally seeing the point of trench dresses. You have convinced me.
ReplyDeleteAnd those boots are amazing! I wish Cydwoqs came in my gigantic size.
Patti!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking this is one of my fav looks from you! Very very chic in black!! And those boots are really fabulous!
Patti, you look amazing in this! I love the monochromatic look of the outfit because it really puts the spotlight on your gorgeous boots.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find!
Heya just wanted to give you a quick

think its a linking issue. I've tried it in two different

Great find for 5 bucks, Patti! I love that you're wearing a trench as a dress - it looks marvellous. It would be great as a dress- up trench for an evening out too. :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this look on you!! The tiny dot of color in the necklace adds enough in my estimation, and the shoes are killer. The back view is fabulous as well.
ReplyDeleteI can't get the feel of the fabric but it's a great outwear piece.And anything that can double-dress or coat is fine with me
ReplyDeleteI'm a jacket wearer including those that are suited for outdoors but wearing all day indoor. Hadn't seen this option in a dress coat. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteOooooh! I think this might be my favorite thus far!
ReplyDeleteI love your secret agent look. Fab!
ReplyDeleteVery stylish trench!
