Cotton safari jacket from Banana Republic

This first coat is on sale at Banana Republic.  It’s a short sleeve short white trench.  It is so cute and you can wear it all summer and straight into the fall.  You can pair it with a cute little belt around the waist like this image or you can wear it alone.  You can also wear it with a cute mini skirt.  The white is such a great summer color and matches almost everything.  I like wearing it over jeans and a longer tank top (preferably in a bright color like fuschia or yellow).  It used to be $90.00, but is now on sale for $59.99.

Soia & Kyo Tulip Hem Coat from Nordstrom

When I went over to Nordstrom.com, I found so many trench coats on sale!  The designs are so cute and classic.  This first one is in black and it’s the Soia & Kyo Tulip Hem Coat.  It’s marked down from $225 to $139.90 – a great deal!  The oversized collar is adorable and the sleeves have a tulip effect.  It’s only one button which makes it very sleek, but I love how the buttons are off to the side giving it a really slim, but elegant look.  The belt in the middle is great since you can tighten and loosen it for different effects.  Oh, one other thing, is it me or does the girl look like a young Katie Holmes?

William Rast Belted Trench Coat from Nordstrom

This next one I found is so cute.  It’s the William Rast Belted Trench Coat in tan.  The bottom of the coat flows out like a skirt.  I tried it on and had on shorts underneath and it looked so cute!  Kind of like a trench dress.  It’s double breasted with a really cute belt that you can tie in front instead of belt at the waist.  I love this look because it’s casual, but still a little dressy.  You can dress it down with casual jeans or dress it up with black tights and heels.  It used to be $436, but now it’s only $259.90.  Although it’s a bit trendier, it will stay in style for awhile.

Weatherproof trench from Nordstrom

This final one is so cute and completely weatherproof.  It’s a pearly, transclucent color.  No buttons, just a snap closure, it is a shorter coat, but so fun.  It’s a great casual spring, fall or summer coat, especially if you live in an area with summer rains.  It was $118, but is now on sale for $78.90.  A great deal!
