What I Wore (& Bought)

For two spring seasons now, I've LOVED the anorak/rain jacket look.  Last year I heed and hawed over buying one from Nordstrom Rack and decided against it.  Yesterday it was sprinkling in the morning and I saw a gazillion (okay, maybe ten at the most), khaki anoraks, so I was inspired to stop off at Nordstrom Rack to see what I could find.

Lucky for me, they had a huge rack of jackets similar to last season's, even the same brand (G.E.T.).  I deciding having liked them for two years, at $70 and having a hood, it was a worthwhile rain/spring coat.

The next issue was color...in fear that they would be gone, I ended up buying three colors and will return the two I decide against.  I got a red-orange, blue, and khaki:



 I'm torn since I just bought a pink trench (between the two of these styles, that's it, done with coat shopping!) if I want a bright color in this or not...but I also see the khaki so often that I don't want to "conform", so despite buying all three of these colors, I've decided I want the slate gray, the one color I didn't buy. Of course.  I'm going to walk over there during lunch and eat on my way so I can go during break.  Fingers crossed they have my size!
