What Goes Around Comes (back) Around!

Me in Paris 2003 with my Sonia Rykiel pink coat!

Fashion always comes full circle...and because I didn't get read the memo I made a big fashion mistake last year.  Every time I think about it I still get a little upset with myself. Let me just come out with it...I sold my pink Sonia Rykiel vintage coat last fall!  Let me explain...I am the antithesis of a hoarder. If I haven't worn something in one or possibly two seasons I usually sell it, consign it,  or donate it. In NYC there are many great places that take your clothes and either for trade or for consignment. So selling and donating seems like a great way to clean out the closet, make room for the new, and get a little money in the process. Innocent enough right? Well normally I would say yes! However when I started noticing that the fashion forecast for fall was touting pastel shaded coats (more specifically pink)! I was yearning for the pink Sonia Rykiel coat that I purchased on my first ever visit to Paris in the winter of 2003! I remember making this hefty purchase (vintage is never cheap right) and wearing the coat for the New Year's Eve party we went to that year! It sat in the back of my closet years to come (as an up and coming New Yorker...I fell for the color black) and is now on the back of some fasionista somewhere! All I can think now is which coat below should I purchase as a substitute?

Look at all these pink coats! Arrggg!

More pink coats!!!
