I bought this trench from Monki in Stockholm last summer during their July sale. I think I paid maybe $20-30 for it though I was originally eyeing it on ASOS for over $100 before I spotted it in Monki. I also wore it in this style post last fall. I. LOVE. THIS. TRENCH. I made a boo boo when I first got it home and burned the bottom of it when I ironed it because it was super wrinkled from being in my suitcase. I like to pretend the iron burn isn’t there so if you somehow spot it in these pics, pretend like you don’t see it, too…lol.
But since NYC has this weird winter to spring transition (it can take weeks before we experience real spring weather and if we do, it’ll immediately go back to being cold and then won’t warm up until May and by then it feels like straight summer) so I had no problems adding this faux fur capelet I bought a few years back with it. I also LOVE the faux fur capelet because it instantly makes whatever outerwear I’m wearing with it that much cooler. You can also spot it here and another version of it here.
I also added the belt to cinch the trench and give it a bit of a high fashion feel. Sure, I can’t afford a Fendi or Burberry or Gucci look like this, but I can make it do with what I got ;)
