The Classic Trench Coat

As I near 30, I feel the need to establish a wardrobe. Not any type of wardrobe, but a wardrobe that would enable me to have something to where for a date with my hubby as well as to the inauguration ball for Barack Obama. One key item that I know is essential for this wardrobe is a classic, well-fitted trench coat. I spy a winner at Banana Republic and Victoria Secret. Banana's coat is what a good friend of mine would call butta soft leather...said of course with a Jersey accent; while, Victoria's is wool.
