Toggle of the Town Coat

I firmly believe that you cannot have too many coats or jackets (or clothes in general, for that matter). This is especially true if you're not lucky enough to live in a place where warm, sunny days outnumber the chilly ones. Here in Pittsburgh, grey and gloomy seems to be a popular forecast, so I want a stylish coat guaranteed to generate a few compliments! This fully lined, wool blend coat will fit in perfectly with my collection of vintage outerwear. I love the subtle, retro details which make it a true gem - an adorable Peter Pan collar, faux horn toggle enclosures, a structured lower back pleat, and the ever-so-slightly-flared long sleeves. And that's not all! As a self-proclaimed connoisseur of runway fashions and trends, I know this coat's vibrant, warm olive hue falls perfectly in line with the hottest colors for fall 2009. I honestly can't wait to throw this coat on with an all-black ensemble, complete with over-the-knee leather boots, a fringed scarf, and maybe even a vintage feathered fascinator. -Annie, Fashion Writer
