I really like this trench. Colour and all. but I have a question too. What do you mean by "if it too sweet?" and how do you combat sweetness of coat with edgy boots? What are edgy boots? I think I need a 101 in style language.

I really like the fit especially when buttoned and tied! Can't comment as to the versatility and indoor wear... I think the color work nicely with your complexion, branching out a bit for $30, sure!

Just joining the 'keep it!' chorus. Looks great on you and mixes so well with the other pieces in your pics. Seems to me that you have found an affordable, easy way to buy a style you love and do a teensy bit of experimenting too.

I hope you are keeping it! KILLER.

I would probably not keep this trench on indoors unless I was just browsing through shops and having a quick tea. Or I was really cold.

Rae, I think this color is spectacular on you and it doesn't read as "sweet" to me. Especially as you'll style it. I agree that it doesn't work as an "indoor" coat; definitely an outer layer that comes off once you're indoors. Keep!

I don't think it is a departure, but a style evolution.

Gorgeous, Rae...you AND the trench.

Angie has spoken! You better not cross her Rae and return it - you know how scary she can be (lol)!

Hehe, Shannon! I wouldn't dare! I am wracking my brain for a way to fit it into manspiration.

Great find! It looks amazing on you Rae, and was a sweet deal!

OMG, I skipped all the comments. How was I so late on this one??? KEEP!!! FOr the love of heaven!!!

You look so fantastic in this.

And if you are worried about it being too "sweet" just DON'T. You can funk it up so many ways. I have found this to be an incredibly versatile colour. For instance, it works with citron....just saying'

LOVE!! KEEP !!

If you don't keep it, the angels will weep!

You must keep it. It is so gorgeous on you!

Late but it's great!

Keepity keep! At this price and with this fit, it's worth the experiment - with greys and blacks, it is quite moody to my eye.

Psst! Rae... isn't this phantom purple more than orchid?
