The "It" Coat

 

 So as the name of the post is titled, it is all about the coat. It seems a bit silly that I would be wearing something rather thick in LA, but I just could not resist. Well, actually, I was heading out to a Christmas dinner with a friend (back in 2013) and it did get pretty cold. ANYWAY, what I love about the coat is that it falls at the perfect length and the color. The length of the coat fell a bit longer than my skirt, so the coat almost acted like a mini dress. It appears on the shoulders that it looks big, but it is a bit oversized since I purchased a size us 6 (just because I like the oversized look).

My outfit under the coat consists of a simple cream/beige v-neck sweater to create a neutral soft tone to my other color choices of greys and blacks. My skirt is black vinyl which adds a different dimension that adds shine and texture. It makes my skirt stand out because of the glare!

As usual, I can't get away from my bootie addiction, as I am wearing my Rachel Zoe kane booties.

McQ by Alexander McQueen

Seasons Greetings! It's December and jack frost is beginning to nip at our noses! Fall semester is also coming to an end for me, and I can finally catch up on rest (no rest is the reason I always have dark circles).

The only downer about the holidays, never ending shopping...for me it started with this Bug Jacquard dress by McQ by Alexander McQueen.

  

The knit texture of the dress is lovely for the cold weather. The magenta and pink colors of the dress gives a pop of color to the the black boots and jacket that I wore with this outfit.

  

The booties I'm wearing are featured in a previous post. They are Kane booties by Rachel Zoe.

Peppered Gray & Pearls

 Happy Friday! It's getting colder which means its getting closer to the holidays!
I love this new dress I got last weekend from Madewell. It's block shape made it very comfortable to wear and was still able to show my figure without being a bodycon. The leather pockets added a perfect addition to the tweed-like texture of the dress.

 

The pearls added a nice classy touch to my dark-schemed outfit.

Cannot end this post without highlighting these amazing snakeskin, leather-textured boots by Rachel Zoe. It's not too high which makes it comfortable to walk in, and pairs well with skinny jeans as well.
