Affordable Trench Coats
March 10th, 2008Hi,
You mentioned trench coats this week in your column - but where do you find them? I have looked at Macy’s, Dillard’s, and J.C Penney’s (all SW Plaza) and noone had them. I am looking for my mother-in-law who is 92 and doesn’t want to pay a lot of money for one(i.e. not Nordstroms, Saks etc.) - we will check out the one pictured at Old Navy(maybe I’ll even try Target) Any suggestions? Thanks.

Dear Susan,
You don’t give us your mother-in-law’s size or taste (conservative, young at heart, classic, etc.), so here are some ideas: Definitely look at Target, Kohl’s, Burlington Coat Factory, Sears, Marshall’s, Ross Dress for Less and TJ Maxx. We suggest you call the Penny’s, Macy’s, Dillards and Nordstrom’s Point of View Department at Park Meadow’s. The Point of View Department has a more reasonable price point. We find that the Park Meadows’ stores have a broader selection than Southwest Plaza; phone calls will save you the drive. By the way, all numbers and addresses are listed in our book.
If she is a smaller size and likes to be current in her fashion, don’t overlook Forever 21, Old Navy, Limited and Express. Again, you can call them before you drive around.
It’s wonderful to know that at 92 we will all still be fashionistas! Good luck.

Thanks gals for the info –”Helen” at age 92 is tiny - 80 lbs - size 0/2 - still loves clothes AND makeup and loves to iron - does a much better job than the cleaners!!

Wow! How fun, definitely take her to the “young adult” stores. We saw a cute trench today at Cira’s in The Pavilions.
