I have been on the hunt for a camel-colored coat for the longest time and finally came across an affordable one about a month ago from Old Navy. With that said, I had to give up a bit on the fit and quality just to be in possession of one with a shade/style I liked. It could be thicker and more fitted but at $45 (was on sale for half off and I'm a sucker for sales), I can't really complain. The shell is a wool+polyester blend and the lining is 100% polyester. Once again, definitely not made of the best materials but I have room to layer underneath and it's a good length. I intend to purchase a nicer version eventually but this will do for now until I earn some more shopping money after the holidays. Please comment if you know of any warm, petite-friendly, and affordable camel-colored coat options out there!
I tried to take some photos outdoor but it got dark before I knew it. Thanks to the bf for being my photographer this time. =)

Old Navy camel double-breasted coat (buy in blue plaid or belted version) -- Joe's Jeans Cigarette in Ian wash (similar) -- Rubi leopard pumps from Australia (similar here and cheaper here)
Accessories: H&M link bracelet (similar on UK site) -- F21 monogram necklace from previous post
Lastly, I recently purchased the Olay Profession Pro-X Cleansing System from Costco...any feedback on this from readers who have tried it?
Such a pretty cobalt blue - I need more items in my closet in that color, I feel like I have none!
ReplyDeleteI love this, I would totally wear something just like it.
ReplyDeleteGreat coat and the price is fantastic, also love your leopard flats.

ReplyDeleteThanks! I really like that color on anything...I need more of it too. =P Post about it when you get something in that color!
ReplyDeleteAww thanks Megan!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jen! Those are actually 2 inch heels but I guess they look like flats in most of the photos. lol
ReplyDeleteThanks hun! I think the coat could be a bit smaller but what can ya do at that price point. haha Yes I love those jeans!

ReplyDeleteHello Karen,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog and thank you so much for linking to HipGirlie.com. I adore your coat and leopard wedges. You look gggggggreat!
Hi Karen! Your coat looks great on you, and for only $45 it's perfect for now until you find the perfect coat. I have read some reviews that J.crew has some great came coloured coats that are offered in petites. They periodically have sales so when you are ready for the investment, you should be able to get one for around $250.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment...too bad the camel Old Navy one is sold out now!
ReplyDeleteHi Sophie! No problem! Thanks for the kind comment and hope you will follow my blog too! =)
ReplyDeleteAw thanks Bessie for the compliment and tip about J. Crew! I typically don't shop there but I feel like so many petites get clothes there that maybe I should start.
ReplyDeleteLove your scarf and your camel coat! Great bargain price too :)

ReplyDeletehave a great week!
Thanks Audrey for the comment and for visiting my blog!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Marion! You are too sweet! Yes I will write an update about the Olay cleansing system after a few more weeks but so far I like it and makes my skin less acne-prone. You're welcome and thanks for following! =)
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking out my site and for the comment! Ooo looking fwd to reading about your new trench. Your site looks interesting so definitely will be following! =D
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for a camel coat lately too and yours is a lovely shade for a great price! I've been using the Olay cleaning device now for about 4 months and love it! I actually liked it so much that I bought one for my mom and mother-in-law. When I forget to use it, I instantly get a pimple so I feel like it's really doing a good job of cleaning my pores / exfoliating.
ReplyDeleteLove that camel coat! So gorgeous on you :)
ReplyDeleteAww thanks SPG! I wish the Old Navy one was still available for you! Good luck finding one. =) Ooo thanks for posting about the Olay cleansing system too...so far I love it as well. Will be posting an update about my experience with it in a week or 2.
