I'm Back....Review of Surge half zip compared to JCrew Peacoat

So sorry for the delay. I had a lot of things going on at once. My husband finally moved up here over the weekend, so I'm up to my ears in cardboard boxes in every room. Work has also been crazy...I was working 12-14 hr days towards the beginning of the week. We also bought a new car....so excited....but that was a process within itself. I've been on the go go go.

It's also been a pretty dead week. I had an opportunity to go to the store once over the weekend, but decided not too. There is nothing too tempting this week. I don't really care for the big striped prints or the new blossom print. It looks like it could date really fast. I like the classic prints like herringbone, houndstooth, baroque....florals are hit or miss with me.

Took the husband to Georgetown today...went in to a few of our favorite stores. I still was looking for a wool coat, so I gave J.Crew another try. So glad I waited! I got the peacoat (again) in "heathered mineral" and it is a dead ringer for surge! Such a pretty color for a peacoat....it definitely is a bright coat.

I also got my package for my Lululemon Base Runner half zip in surge. It took 8 days for it to come to the east coast. I was expecting to really want to return it, but I do really like it. It's such a striking color, its hard to give it up.

I was worried about the zip part. I have been seeing some "Elvis" like collars when it is zipped down, but it didn't look bad at all zipped down.

Now I personally think it looks a little ridiculous when you zip it all the way down and roll the collar. The collar looks just silly.

So here's the surge again my new peacoat.....pretty close eh? I might get the surge earwarmers and torque now!

By the way, I mailed out the Sweaty Bands to the winners this week. If you are a winner and didn't get your SweatyBand by next weekend, please let me know!
