This beautiful grey wool pea coat has been in my closet for decades. I almost donated it this year because I rarely wear it and I thought it was getting dated. It has a detachable fur collar (see in last two pictures of post). I purchased it on clearance from JCPenney at the end of the winter season and got quite a deal on it.
I decided to wear this coat for day of shopping and lunch with my hubby because it was actually a little warmer (if you call 30 degree temperatures warmer! haha!) and I had a long top on underneath that I wanted covered by my coat. I was also wearing faux leather leggings (Worthington, old) and wanted to be sure my backside was well covered.
When the fur collar was on, it didn't seem to fit my outfit and it looked dated. But when I removed it, I thought it looked a bit military style; what do you think? Removing the collar gave the coat a more updated, cleaner look.
To me, the buttons, pocket flaps, and belts on the waist and sleeves give the coat a military feel.
There is a nice detail in the back too with all the seam lines.
So what do you think? Military-Style or no? Is the coat still in style, or should I donate it? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.
My gloves were a gift from my daughter. The Liz Claiborne Elizabeth Tote is from JCPenney.
I purchased these cute lace up combat boots from Charlotte Russe for only $20.00 but I see they are sale on-line for $25.00. I just LOVE these shoes and I have been wearing them constantly since I bought them. They are super comfortable and totally practical for my climate and lifestyle. I get so many compliments on them!
And if your wondering what I had under my jacket, a three year old grey and black leopard print sweatshirt! I pretty much left my coat on all day. The only time I took it off was when I was eating in a restaurant.
