With tiny boutiques slashing orders and huge chains closing up entire stores, it's more than clear that fashion sure isn't the buy-two-of-everything playground it used to be. Naturally, there's no better time to shop lean and mean, investing in just a few key pieces--the first being your fall/winter coat. No doubt, coat shopping definitely requires attention to purpose (it should be warm), but I like coats that go beyond basic and can transform ordinary jeans and riding boots into a Look. Here are a few perfect examples of exceptional coverups that still won't break the bank.
