Navy Trench via Ebay

Ebay is definitely a hit with me.  I do hope we just keep dating and it doesn't turn into a full blown obsession.  I could see how it could.  My Kenneth Cole Trench arrived.  I honestly loved the Burberry plaid I tried on but something was off with the fit.  For that money, heck even half off on ebay, it is hard to justify.  Plus, a trench is not something that gets a lot of use around these parts...or at least not until this year (didn't know Knoxville had turned into a rainforest).

On the Model:
Unfortunately, the seller just has 1 left in size small.  I placed the order on Tuesday and had it by priority USPS on Saturday.  Not bad service.  Not sure why the price is up...I only paid $105 with shipping.  Hmm.
On me:



Hey look.  I'm wearing navy!
I chose to tie my belt...cuz I'm stylish like that.

It has snaps not buttons...

More this color...

I like that the hardware is not bright and garish.


Back of coat and detail.

Has Vent.


Snaps have Kenneth Cole on them.  Subtle advertising.


Belt and Buckle detail.


Sleeve length is just perfect, even for my short arm.  I have one slightly longer than the other.  I also have one foot bigger than the other.  And one boob bigger than the other...and they point in different directions.  Sorry.  I should have said "sag" in different directions.


There is nothing to cinch the arm holes but I do not plan on wearing in a torrential downpour.  I'll just stay in and watch Project Runway.

Close up of neck line and the girls always want to say hi.

With a dress.

Gives a better indication of length.  I love it and am so happy I took the chance with Ebay.

Last Shot...

Too lazy to tie but yes, it has pockets.

I have finally heard from insurer and should get my money by the end of the week.  We have spent a good portion modifying our alarm system.  If you come up my drive way picking your nose and scratching your ass, I'll get you on film :)

    1. I have thought of you often over the last few days. Three weeks in and I'm still mad as hell...sending love and if it wasn't expensive and possibly illegal, lots of Kentucky bourbon. Much love.

    1. Considering I was looking at a Burberry, I do not believe I "settled", I believe a made a wise decision...had my fingers crossed til it arrived.

    1. Navy is just gentler for me. Just don't do black very well. Come, join us over on this dark side.

  7. That trench is a find, and it looks great on you.

    I have been looking in the mirror altogether too much lately. Every bodily/facial item that comes in pairs is looking mismatched. Even my nose - which was sonsidered "desirable" in 7th grade - now looks to have a fat side and a thin slide. Mom was right, if you look in the mirror too much, you'll see the Devil looking back at you.

    1. My grandmother had cataract surgery many years ago and wanted to sue the doctor because he made her suddenly look very old. I, on the other hand, have become very obsessed with my whiskers.
