it was an impulse, and i feel like it is way too trendy for me (i haven't received it yet though) I am thinking about removing all of the buttons (since they have nothing to do with closure) to make it a little more sleek, any thoughts?(i won it in black)
Actually, I don't think it's that trendy at all. The color, cut, and length all say very "classic" to me, in a kind of cute/funky way, kinda like Audrey Hepburn. And I wouldn't remove the buttons--I think it'd look a little strange without them. I think especially with the black, the buttons don't stand out a ton, so I don't think they'll be all that noticeable IRL.
I think it's a really great looking coat and I think seeing it IRL will maybe ease your worries about it.
