My New Favorite Thing: Merona Coat

I am extremely picky when it comes to the perfect coat, probably because in Texas we don't get to wear them too long. My all time favorite coat was custom made for me (as a Christmas gift from my parents) at Al's Attire in North Beach, when I lived in San Francisco. Unfortunately it is way too big on me to wear anymore, which I guess is a good/bad problem to have. And, I am betting it would be a pretty penny to alter it. So, I have been on the hunt for something that works for now, but isn't too expensive. The other day I was killing time in Austin before a wedding and stopped by my old Target and there it was. This coat. A beautiful coat. A faux fur collar that actually looks decent and is removable...in case I want to pair it with my favorite leopard scarf. It looks Anthropologie'ish to me, without the price tag. Most of all, I am obsessed with the color. Find the coat here.
