Fashion Challenge Day Thirteen: Your Most Expensive Piece of Clothing

[photo unavailable]

In the winter of 2008 I decided to drop money on a nice basic black coat. At the time I was working for Apple Store and there was a J. Crew in our mall. Dangerous! I ended up dropping $300 on this (I got a small discount for still having my student ID) — The J. Crew Double Cloth Tulip Coat. I still have it and it's in great condition.

I have taken this with me so many times to Chicago and it's lightweight enough to pair a hoodie or sweater beneath it, but still warm enough to wear on it's own. I adore it. The classic cut makes it easy to match with denim or a dress! The tulip dress is easily the most expensive item in my closet!
