Budget Trench

You know those lists of "10 Essential Pieces to Have in Your Closet"? Most of them include a classic trench in either black or khaki. However it's something I haven't owned for about a decade. So while I was wandering around in Old Navy yesterday,  I spotted a simple trench coat marked down from $50 to $40. I purchased the black because I figured it would pair well with the black and gray pieces I normally gravitate toward in cooler weather.

It's marked $50 online, but you may still be able to find it for $40 in-store.
