Macy's president's day sale sucked me in, and had some great bargains on coats normally out of my reach when all discounts/coupons were applied. Not that much very cold weather left in the PNW hopefully, but I don't have either a long and/or wool/woolblend coat so it fills a hole going forward. Which one should I keep? Or should I pass on all? All are 60% wool blend.

1) Betsey Johnson Corset flared coat http://www1.macys.com/shop/pro.....?ID=838806

pros: love the style which fits my look, fur collar is removable if wanted, black which is my wardrobe default, roomy enough to wear whatever under it, comfy when stretching arms various ways. cons: might be cut a tiny bit big? (it's in my usual size, but smaller sizes weren't available - may be intentional roomy cut) waist has a slight bit of room when buttoned over a very thin sweater, but probably wouldn't over thicker layers. I do have other black coats, not warm/long ones however.

2) Kenneth Cole http://www1.macys.com/shop/pro.....t?ID=83929 (like this, but with a tie instead of the side buckles.)

pros: nice eggplant color, fits a little more closely, classic style. cons: might fit too snugly (it's a size smaller than my usual, so feels a little tight when I stretch my arms)

3) Target merona pros: um, super affordable. I like the navy and check colors, but it's probably not quite as versatile a pattern. cons: waist has gathers rather than a tailored cut, members mentioned that belt might help (this is just an example, not the one I'd use).

(note: my hair is usually a dark brown with highlights, and I'll go back to that soon. The black was an accident I'm living with until the roots show).

Thanks for any and all feedback!
