Moment of Weakness


I have been quite good lately about resisting (too many) frivolous purchases, sticking to a strict budget and thoroughly contemplating every big buy before I make it. Until now. Because as soon as I saw this swing trench coat (on Victoria's Secret, of all places), I instantly wanted it. It's so cute! And on major sale! (Perhaps it didn't quite fit the style of the general VS demographic?) And so… I ordered it. And, really, it looks so cute that I don't feel guilty about it at all.

{There's a bunch of VS coupons over here should you have a similar compulsion.}

Oh, I'm bookmarking this. Too cute but I'm a bit worried how big my bust is means it won't fall right--and then I'll just look pregnant instead of chic.

I bought it! I couldn't help myself for that price and it was as you said a moment of weakness!

Damn sales, but thanks for the finding, I will tell you how it goes!

I bought it in a small even though I am normally a medium, we shall see how it goes!

i got the small too, and i'm also generally a medium. here's hoping it looks like a swingy coat, and not like a tent! stay tuned...

Toooo cute! That's a very sophisticated look for VS. It's a pity--here, we've gone from coat weather straight to t-shirt-with-no-jacket-weather. I miss my jackets! And I certainly can't justify buying another. What a pity.

not bad! i really don't *need* it, but i really like it. the sleeves are a little different than i expected -- they sort of attach to the sides of the coat (kind of cape-like) rather than being real sleeves.

it's got a nice swingy volume, and very nice detail. the small was a good move for me; anything bigger and i'd probably be swimming in it.

i'll try to get some pix up soon.
