I know, I know. In yesterday's post, I said Juicy Couture was becoming less and less "cool," and here I am today featuring a Juicy Couture velvet trim coat. A girl can change her mind, can't she? I was browsing the outerwear options over at Shopbop.com and discovered Juicy has some really cute coats. I think that the Juicy garb that's emblazoned with the Juicy logo, or anything that has the word "J-U-I-C-Y" stamped on it in big letters has become passé (and was never in good taste to begin with.) But, I gotta say, they continue to offer plenty of logo-free clothing that is super cute and quite tempting. Just wish it was cheaper...so here we found a Forever 21 coat (above right) that has the same spirit as the ladylike Juicy coat (above left) without the hefty price tag. What do you think?
Luxe on left: Juicy Couture velvet trim coat at Shopbop.com, $478
Less on right: Miranda wool coat at Forever21.com, $54.80
Huhuhuhu so vintage but simple chic too^^
It's a cute coat, my only problem with F21 coats is that usually they fall apart within a month. I scored a really cute one recently that is holding up well but I've also had a gorgeous one that literally disintegrated within 2 months. Was a major shame too considering that I paid $60 for it.
These look very similar to a beautiful black coat I bought at Miss Selfridge in London last year, and finally get to wear this year (as I spent last winter abroad)! It's such a lovely style -- feminine in a subtle way. :o)
