All 4 of those cuff buttons are functional. It's slightly longer in the back, but is all around dress length.
It's from Club Monaco (where I discovered student ID gets you 20% off everything). I felt it was an item I should acquire for several very good reasons that I'll spare you. This was a shopping moment unlike the one described in yesterday's post. Most of the time, it is my hope that now, at age 26, I'm developing enough sense to know that I will wear something like this coat for years because it suits my adult body and my ideas about dressing it. (Other times, I don't rely on logic.)
A perfect day for going headless.
Even though I'm pretty into the idea of it ever becoming summer again, a few more weeks of chilly gray weather don't bother me so much since I can wear this coat a little bit before fall.
I also found a new way to tie up this Fifth Ave. Shoe Repair dress to make it into a shirt.
It's weirdly exhilarating to buy yourself a nice new thing. Especially when you are completing major life tasks and need a reward. I don't endorse the concept of "retail therapy." I do, however, believe in self-present-giving. The difference is that in the former, one spends hundreds at Urban Outiftters in a depressive attempt at self-satisfaction. In the latter, one selects a singular special thing and imagines that it's a gift or reward for exhausting your talents in a way that is not in itself rewarding enough... A difference that is not black and white, but shades of neurotic gray.

What a lovely coat! It totally reminds me of a more structured version of that Isabel Marant coat that the blogosphere has been salivating over.
And Club Monaco, 20% of for students??? How did I not know that?
I can see why you are a proud owner of this coat. It is perfect! Exactly what i was looking for this winter and never found xxx
Your use of proportion is OUT OF CONTROL.
I own the same coat. :) I wear it with the pocket flaps tucked in; I feel they're a bit distracting. But I love the coat. The way it fits nicely in the shoulders and then flares away from my body (hides the unflattering parts, hehe)
btw, I have come across some great bloggers through your commenters. It is a true testament to how awesome your blog is.
Wow, the coat is absolutely divine! You're so lucky as you have access to Club Monaco.
