Wishful Wednesday

Hope you all enjoyed your long weekend!  For me, Labor Day signifies the end of summer, which doesn't make me happy.  Nonetheless, I have to start looking towards the rapidly approaching change of season, and this weekend brought a preview of fall.

As hurricane Earl moved up the coast, it created cooler temps, chilly breezes, and the smell to the air that tells you the leaves will soon change.  Although I'm not excited to lose the heat and sunshine, my mind began to wander towards fall fashions...

BUDGET BREAKER:

Isn't this Burberry Trench a beauty?  Iconic and always in style, Burberry is known for their classic and quality trench coats.  BUT at $995 at Saks Fifth Avenue, this look isn't necessarily in the budget.

BUDGET BEATER:

For those of you like me who don't have $1000+ to blow on a coat you can only wear a few months of the year, this one's for you.  This London Fog Double-Breasted Trench coat is a tenth of the cost of the Burberry trench - ringing in at a mere $99.98 at Macy's.  Though it might not be the same quality as a Burberry trench, it's still a good looking jacket.

Don't you just love the look of a well-fitting trench coat?  As a child, I always thought my mother looked so beautiful when she wore her gray trench.  I'd love to recreate that look this fall (do you hear that Vibrant Husband??)  What are your favorite looks for fall?  What budget beaters are you looking for?
