I know some of you are going to curse me for daring to post about outerwear before September has even arrived, but I couldn’t help myself! I ripped my beloved J. Crew cherry colored coat at fashion week in February, so I’ve been keeping an eye out for its replacement ever since.
Vino inspired hues are HOT for fall {remember my bordeaux post?!?} and this plum/wine wool trench coat is right up my alley!
AND it’s under $160 at Victoria’s Secret! Unless we’re talking about a timeless piece like a Burberry trench, I find it difficult to spend a great deal of money on a coat since we don’t have much use for them here in Tampa. So, is outerwear on your fall must have list this year lovelies?

Love it!!! I’ve been on a search for the perfect coat since last winter! I’ve seen a couple that I kinda like, but this one is great!!! That plum color is gorgeous! I couldn’t pull it off, but I love the green color. I added it to my Fall Style File on Pinterest ; )

LOVE that coat!!!
I live where we have freezing winters and I still hate spending lots of money on a coat, haha…I got my DKNY coat for $130

I LOVE this!!! I definitely think I’ll be needing a new coat this winter!!

love it! great find. xo

That trench is KILLER. the cut, the color, everything. It really is a deep beautiful wine color….tho for a wine lover like me, it may tempt me towards wine too often
[Reply]
I’m constantly buying coats. So many get damage by winter. It’s so cold come November. Any type of outerwear is a must in my city.

Oh Kristin,
I LOVE that Burgundy colour. I wear black mostly but this colour is my 2nd favourite. I must look out for a burgundy coloured coat for the winter. XXXX

Oh my gosh. I’m incredibly picky about my coats, but this is one of the ONLY times I have ever come across a photo of a trench and seriously have been DESPERATE to own it!! I love the cut and the classic design and the color!! It’s gorgeous. So classic, yet so unique. I need to save up money for this. My mom inhales Victoria’s Secret catelogs so I might actually be able to sneak free shipping on this with one of her orders!!
[Reply]
That coat is gorgeous!
[Reply]
LOVE that coat! I couldn’t justify spending that either. I’m trying to justify dropping a couple benjamins on a pair of boots though. Lol (post tomorrow)
[Reply]
Need need need NEED this coat. SOOO beautiful!
[Reply]
Beautiful! Snatch that baby up!
[Reply]
That is a gorgeous coat!
[Reply]
That’s the same color I used for the background on a secret commission I just finished…but cannot share until next month! Great color!
[Reply]
It’s so pretty!
[Reply]
Tsssss. That’s hot! Never too soon to start swooning for coats. I just scored a killer vintage trench. 106 degrees and all (I exaggerate a bit) there was no way I was leaving that coat behind.
[Reply]
This shade is actually my school’s color, so I actually already own quite a bit of it! More of an excuse to stock up, I suppose.
[Reply]
That trench is STUNNING! I love it.

OOOOO this coat is beautiful! Why did you have to tempt me???? A coat was not on my list because I live in Chicago and have invested in my coat wardrobe. Let’s see, I spy a Burberry Black Trench with a Removable Liner, an edgy black wool coat from Mackage, an Ivory Wool Trench from BR, and a forest green short puffer down jacket from Andrew Marc with raccoon fur trim around the hoodie. Idk…I think my closet could accommodate this little bordeaux number
[Reply]
In Tampa, that beauty would see maybe a few weeks of use a year, most. But here in Colorado, that plum deliciousness would get a good 5 months worth of wear a year! I got a great black military inspired wool trench last year, but this one would be a very nice addition to my coat closet! Thanks for spotlighting such a great piece!

I’m with you – there is NEVER a bad time to post about a good coat! They are my favorite cool weather accessory and I’m so excited to start seeing them in stores soon!! Great post
[Reply]
It is a great looking coat! And frankly I am looking at outwear myself!
[Reply]
Dont even think twice…that coat is a steal and I LOVE the color.
I don’t hate you..I love you…because I plan on wearing motorcycle boots (new ones from Jeffrey Campbell) tomorrow to a few afternoon meetings I have…YES…I said it..motorcycle boots in August…I simply CAN”T WAIT FOR FALL!!!!

What a deliciously beautiful color!
[Reply]
That coat is from Victoria’s Secret? Wow, i’m impressed. A wool trench for $160 – sold! That color is so pretty.
[Reply]
Gorgeous coat. I love the color and style. I think you may have a winner!
[Reply]
I LOVE THIS!
maybe I will purchase because you’re right the Burberry trench maybe out of my budget haha
[Reply]
O… M… G… That coat is GORGEOUS!!!!!! That plum color is hands down my absolute FAVE when it comes to fall – delish!! Hope ya don’t mind if a certain gal in CO sports the same one…
xoxo J
[Reply]
I am LOVING this jacket!! Great choice!
[Reply]
with the heat now can’t imagine even needing a coat, however this one is pretty awesome (and way more flattering than a khaki). nice find! so tempted to order from VS but never have online… have you had success?
[Reply]
I don’t like cold weather but I sure do like jackets and coats! Here in northern Florida we still get to wear them a bit. Love everything about that trench!
[Reply]
What a great coat! I’ve worn the same red jacket for cold weather for umpteen years – alas, it’s probably indestructible.
[Reply]
I love this color! In fact, I’m working on my fall coat post as I read this <3
[Reply]
I love that color and the price is not bad at all!
[Reply]
This is such a gorgeous fall shade!

@Stephanie @ henry happened, I’m having trouble commenting on your blog lady…Am I the only one?
[Reply]
Ha, I don’t blame you with thoughts of fall. It has been a cool August here and we are in the same mode.
[Reply]
Ohhhhh, that coat is so pretty! I can’t do double-breasted though bc I usually leave my coat hanging open on the subway etc..
[Reply]
I LOVE THIS!!!!!
[Reply]
Awesome color and so unusual for a trench!
[Reply]

Whoaa I love this coat! The color is awesome! Victoria’s Secret has a lot of styles I like but I’ve never bought outerwear from there. I’d love a new coat for winter but currently I’m looking for a leather jacket for fall!
[Reply]
no, our weather has sucked so I’m ready for jackets!!!! This is SO cute, I love the color.
[Reply]
What a STUNNING colour! *ALMOST* makes me kinda sad Winter is coming to an end in Australia.
[Reply]
I think that is utterly gorgeous. I would want one now seeing as we are still in winter. Although I’m sure the weather will start getting warmer soon.
[Reply]
Just wear it over your bikini!
[Reply]
Oooh, that’s pretty! I just bought a royal blue wool coat at the end of last year, so I am trying to pretend I didn’t see this…
[Reply]
That is GORGEOUS.
[Reply]
That is a gorgeous color for a trench coat!
[Reply]
This coat is to die for!!
[Reply]
that is a really beautiful coat in a gorgeous color, but i have to say, it’s much too soon for buying coats for fall!
[Reply]
Love the color of this coat!! And the style! And I love getting coats early so I have first pick!! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog!!! What are your rules for relaxing on vacation?

I LOVE that coat. the cut, the color…everything. I was surprised it was VC!
[Reply]
Pretty color! The weather is already cooling off here, so a coat is definitely on my “to-buy” list.
[Reply]
Oh I love this colour and love talking Autumnwear too! My favourite types of clothes and my favourite time of year, so August is never too early to start thinking new season in my book.

Good God, that is gorgeous!
