J.Crew Double Cloth Lady Day in 0P
Boots: Size 5 (don't remember the brand - it's been worn off!)
Gloves: Bought several years ago (it's a little big for me!)
This coat is very comfortable and lady-like - a great piece for work as well as an evening out (especially for something semi-formal). The good thing about this is that not only does it come in petite, regular as well as tall, there are plenty of colours to choose from as well. Like
Jean from Extra Petite, I bought mine in dark cypress. Most of my coats have either been black or charcoal, so this is a good change for me. It still looks great with my cream coloured hat and gloves. Note, however, that since this is a petite coat, the sleeves would be a little shorter. I highly recommend that one not wear really short gloves or mittens - I had a pair which was just before my wrist. NOT. GOOD. Also, despite Thinsulate, the coat is not going to keep one super-warm if it is too much below freezing. Someone from Toronto who lives primarily downtown and commutes by subway OR a suburbanite who commutes by car should be able to wear this coat if the windchill doesn't get too crazy. However, I wouldn't recommend this coat if you mostly walk.
The cypress green coat is currently on sale at $179.99 for a coat without Thinsulate and $199.99 with Thinsulate. Note that the coat is available in 00 Regular, but the smallest in petite is 0P. The regular coat is, of course, proportionately longer (sleeves, lower waist as well as a longer length). I believe that back in late October/early November, a petite blogger suggested the 00R for those who found that the waist was a little too high.
