"On my way home from having dinner downtown last night, as did a little dance trying to stay warm while waiting for a cab, I realized that my fitted little blazer thrown over a cocktail dress isn&amp;#x27;t going to cut it against the chilly weather for much longer. The inevitable seasonal bummer was made more tolerable only by the realization that I get to go shopping for something new! I&amp;#x27;ve been lusting for a trench coat for a few seasons now, and I think I&amp;#x27;m finally ready to make the investment. The true object of my affection: this classic Burberry version, which is a whopping $1,195 at net-a-porter.com...but I&amp;#x27;ll have it forever, right? I&amp;#x27;d also love to be able to both pay my rent and eat three meals a day this month--I know, a crazy idea--so this Juicy Couture version is a bit more budget-friendly at $350. And then if I avoid the reality that my closet is already cluttered with enough abandoned cheap and chic jackets to wear a different one every day for a week, I could always go that route. I found this adorable red trench at the Spanish-based chain Mango&amp;#x27;s website for just $69: And this navy number, not necessarily a traditional trench but cute, lightweight cotton, and waterproof, at Delia&amp;#x27;s--for $79.50. Somehow splurging on an item as timeless and classic as a trench coat makes me feel like a grownup...but so does being able to pay my credit card bill. What do you guys think? Should I make a major investment or save my pennies for all of the insane shoes I&amp;#x27;ve had my eye on lately? Which trench do you like best? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
