After a couple of days of trudging around in the cold rain, I saw the silver lining. On second thought, plaid lining is more appropriate. I rediscovered Burberry. Cue EC’s “Hello Old Friend.” After a summer of beach fun, I had forgotten about my favorite fall staple; the Burberry trench coat. Originally designed as a British Officer’s coat, this preppy icon has been around for nearly one hundred years. My mom brought back two Burberry’s from her years abroad in London. Her gabardine trench circa 1974 is still the coolest coat I have ever seen.
