You went to a lot of work to find just the right trench, and I'd say it was totally worth the hassle - this latest trench is 'the one.' It fits you beautifull, and yeah - I can tell it's better quality than the others you've tried.
I still have a bit of a soft spot for the Gallery trench in citron, just because that colour was so amazing on you, but the fit wasn't 100% right...too bad. Agghh...that one was pretty nice too.
This J. Crew trench though...is *to die for*on you. Not only is it a great colour...the fit is just perfect.
I'm going to remember this for a long, long time - how you didn't have a ton of time to find just the right trench, but you didn't settle - you tried a whole bunch of stuff, and came out with something truly fab. YAY!
