One of the items I’m purchasing for my Spring capsule wardrobe is a trench coat. Sadly, my Martin + Osa (remember good ol’ M+O? Rest in peace, my former lover…) trench coat bit the dust after a good decade or so, but it definitely did its time. After a few non-budging stains and the loss of a couple buttons and a wrist strap buckle thingy, I knew the time had come.
Trench coats are such a classic staple, and therefore, I’m willing to pony up. Especially since I plan on wearing it until it literally falls off my body. Above are some lookers. (Also, that maternity trench is adorable. Where was Hatch Maternity when I was pregnant?)

March 4, 2015 at 3:25 pmI adore that one too, but I’m afraid I’ll tire of those details after a few years pass…

March 5, 2015 at 4:42 pmI LOVED M&O! There is actually a lot of old NWT stuff floating around on eBay (127 items today, per my saved search). I was able to replace one of my beloved tops for about $24 this year.
