Lunch Hour Shopping: Trench Coats Under $100 at Gilt Groupe




Sometimes I'm reluctant to share certain sales because it reduces my chances of getting the items I want. There, I said it! But my conscience always gets the best of me, so here I am, once again sharing another amazing deal even if it means the coat I covet (ahem, the Tahari "Evelyn" ruffled trench, shown above center) might sell out in my size before I'm able to scoop it up. Because at these prices, this is one deal you can't afford to miss! Just don't tell anyone else. Sale starts at 12 noon ET at Gilt.

Shown above from left: LEXI woven coat $89 (down from $154); EVELYN ruffled coat $79 (down from $153); LILY woven trench $79 (down from $132)
