Two new coats - but I can only keep one! Help!

The other day I was browsing the New Look website when I came across a coat that matched all of my 'criteria' - long sleeved, mid thigh length, rounded collar and with an A line shape. I have been on a search for the perfect coat since last year, and I seem to keep buying ones that aren't quite perfect - meaning that I have about 7 coats, but none that I am 100% happy with. (Don't worry - most of them cost under £5!).

With the winter approaching I could justify spending a little bit more, so I decided to order the coat from the website. But I couldn't choose between black and red so I got them both! But now it's decision time - which one should I keep, and which one should I return?

I really love the red one but practicality is telling me to keep the black! What does everyone think?

Top - Vintage
Skirt - American Apparel
Belt - M&S

On Saturday I'm going on a little trip to France to stay with my french friend. I'm going to start planning my outfits now :D

Hopefully I'll be able to show you some photos from my trip when I return - and I've also got a DIY jewellery post planned, so keep checking back!
