A certain someone has convinced me that I need some more outside input into my fashion choices... perhaps a bit more flexibility.

She made a convincing argument.

So, I'm opening up the selection process to all of you, starting with my winter coat.  I will buy and wear a winter coat solely selected by my blog audience.

Here's the deal:

1. To submit a coat for group voting, tag it in del.icio.us with the "coatidol" tag.  (No quotes, obviously.)  Only coats tagged in del.icio.us qualify, so if you want to be a part of this, learn how to use del.icio.us by clicking here.
2. Submissions will end in one week on Tuesday, October 25th at 5PM.
3. At that point, we will do a two day vote ending on Thursday, October 27th at 5PM.  Every coat and its picture will be displayed for voting and voting will be anonymous.
4. No coat over $350 will be considered.
5. Remember, this is a winter coat...  so ideally it would keep me warm.
6. You're free to select any colors, but I think its obvious what colors I like.  (See my living room, my car, my blog)
7. The community will police itself.  Tagged coats will appear at del.icio.us/tag/coatidol as soon as people start tagging.  If you see a coat that's an obvious attempt at getting me to wear something stupid, just tag it coatidolsucks.  No coat tagged coatidolsucks by anyone will be considered.
