I think I've talked before about my bad habit/tendency to want something very, very specific...and then go out into the world to look for it, only to be confused that my wanting it didn't make it materialize.
The current, particular, exacting object of my desire is this:
A red trench.
This seems like an easy-peasy mission, to be sure. Trenches are everywhere right now. It looks like they're a big trend for Spring, but.
But I'd really like for it to be belted.
-And have pretty buttons (probably not black, unless they're really nice).No clear buttons either.
-Double breasted or single breasted = fine.
-It must be on the tomato-y side of red, not berry-red or even lipstick-red.
-Soft-ish fabric...no nylon.
-And probably mid-lower thigh length would be best.
So, now you see...it's the details of my persnickety ideas that are so problematic!
So far, my search has come up with a few promising coats (none of them exactly match my weirdo list): There's this one from Target, and the online photos are pretty unfortunate, but it's really cute in person. Then there's this one from Guess, which seems almost perfect, but there's something a bit cheesy about it. Maybe it's the chrome belt-ring. Or it might just be the model's huge hoop earrings.
Then, totally not what I had in mind, but insanely lovely, this Orla one:
This jacket is my favorite, but that entire Spring line is painfully cute.
