Cobalt & Grey: Belted Cocoon Coat & Cobalt Pumps

I wore this Heathered double-sleeve cocoon coat (it is currently sold out both in US and Canada) as a dress for this outfit post in order to change it up a bit. Since the coat has a loose fit, I was forced to belt it, otherwise it will just look like I'm wearing a sack of potatoes...lol. This coat is so very versatile; it gives any outfit a feel of being effortlessly put together. The other day I was in a rush, so wore it as a coat over a simple sweater and jeans. Not only did it keep me toasty warm all day long-I actually got a lot of compliments! Hope you have a great week!!

   

 

Audrey: Striped shirt + Cropped White Jeans + Pale Pink Moto Jacket

This outfit reminds me of Audrey Hepburn a bit; striped shirt, and ankle pants, with pearl accessories-classic. The leather jacket really pulled the look together and keeps it feminine in this pale pink tone. All of the moto jackets I own are from Forever 21. They are affordable, look good, are super soft, and very comfortable. Anyhow, I hope you all have a wonderful rest of the week and an amazing weekend! If you haven't checked off at least half of your Holiday shopping list, you are running out of time! Good luck ^_^

Monochromatic Gray: Gray Blazer + Gray Jeans & Tee

Wearing an outfit comprised of one color is actually not that tricky…it is really a no brainer. You can have your outfit in one color, or in all the colors (just play around with the tints, tones, and shades) of a single hue. Today’s outfit is an almost head-to-toe gray ensemble (minus my shoes and bag). I can swap the blazer for a coat-or wear a hoodie underneath the blazer if the weather gets colder.  We are supposed to get a cold front by the end of the week (fingers crossed) just in time for a taste of fall weather. Hope everyone has a great rest of the week, and remember to have a super fun and safe Halloween ☠!!

 

 

Polished in Culottes: Culottes & Bow Tie Blouse

Culottes are back (trending since last year) and you see them everywhere. I just love them, especially this pair from ASOS (On sale here). The fabric is super soft and flowy. My husband used to call my older pair of these short trousers, my ‘pirate’ pants. (They were more casual and made of stretchy type of black fabric.) Did you know that ‘culottes’ is a word that originated from the French language, and referred to the knee-breeches worn by gentlemen in the nineteenth century? For a simple office look with a touch of that feminine vibe, I paired my culottes with bow-tie blouse and beige ankle strap heels. For a modern executive look try pairing them with a blazer, or jacket and finishing the look with pumps. Have a great rest of the week everyone and let me know what your new favorite trends are!
