This is adorable in my opinion. Anyone else take a fancy to it? It is reduced from $150 to $129.00

Very cute and so neutral that it could function as a neutral (Wait. Did I really write that?!?).

@Mochi,
It is pretty sweet and I might have to pull the trigger and buy it. I think I hear it whispering to me.....

Someone tried this and it didn't work, but I think she was a petite. I can definitely see this working for you and your style! You must get it to at least try.

It is indeed very pretty Meredith!

Meredith, I've seen this in the store and I was less than impressed with the fabric. It seemed very polyester-y (in that kind of staticky, plasticky sense) and a bit too shiny.

@Jsloane and Shannon,
I do want to look at it at least. No harm in looking!

@Diana and Sarah A
Good to know. I will consider myself forewarned!

Meredith -- love the trench, make sure the length will work for the uses you have in mind! I do think it's a clever way to punch up a wardrobe of mostly solids! It would be very versatile for you!

Very cute! But now Diana's put a rather heavy spanner in the works --- plasticky would be a deal breaker to me, unless it's a serious shade of raincoat!

@Beth Ann,
Thanks! I will be checking out this next week. I can order it and if it is "plasticky" or not a good versatile length then I can always return it to our local brick and mortar store (which I've done before with no worries).
@ManidpaM,
I will definitely scrutinize the finish very carefully and try not to fall so in love with the pattern that I talk myself into something with a cheesy finish!

Meredith and others: I think I may have overstated how plasticky the material felt. It's not like a plastic bag or anything! (But it did feel a little cheap to me and I don't think it would breathe at all). It felt more like a raincoat rather than a standard trench, so if you are going for rainwear I think it would be fine. I did think that the material did not justify the price though...

@Diana
You may be right. I am looking for something that I can wear inside as a jacket. If it is truly like a raincoat it may not be for me and I appreciate your advice so much! I will try to be objective when I look at it.

I tried it and it didn't work for me. I love the way it looks, but I agree it's more of a raincoat than a trench. The 100% polyester fabric made me feel sweaty as soon as I put it on, but it probably wouldn't affect everyone that way. The petite arms were still too long for me but I don't think that would be an issue for you.

Well it looks cute but if it doesn't work for you at least you still have your denim polka dot shirt that is very similar!
