In lieu of my cropped trench coat, a long one that is already in my closet.
the banana republic contrast collar trench coat
I bought this trench coat to get me from winter to summer while most of our things were being moved from Asia back to the states. This was also around the time that I was experimenting with a neutral capsule wardrobe: black, white, tan, ivory, etc. This trench coat did the heavy lifting in terms of mixing and matching with what I brought back from Asia and what I had waiting for me in the states, as well as carrying me through the weird spring weather.
The coat fits roomier. I am wearing it in a size large tall.
the mavi kendra straight leg jean
I discovered that Mavi carried extra long and extra extra long denim during my time in Kazakhstan. At the time, the Turkish brand offered a straight leg and a bootleg fit. I was able to order the former in my size and even later went down a size after I lost a load of weight. Unfortunately and regrettably, I never picked up a pair of the latter fit. Since then, I have returned to the larger size denim and even ordered them in an additional, darker wash.
I am wearing the Mavi Kendra Straight Leg Jean in a size 32 / 36.
