This is my take on wearing a dress over pants, as inspired by Chanel’s Fall/Winter ’12 show, or more recently, Kenzo’s 2014 Fall/Winter lineup. I’ll be honest, I was always and admirer of this trend just never had the courage to pull it off. However, the true motivator for me to finally layer a dress over pants (skinny jeans in this case) was the extreme cold and a longing for Spring. End result: love it, regret not trying it sooner.

I’ve had enough of snow and blizzards dictating outfit choices. So I decided I wasn’t going to let winter stop me from wearing what I wanted for Sushi last weekend. Especially since scoring this long Tahari down filled duvet…I mean jacket; there really should be no excuses. However, I compromised by wearing over the knee boots instead of booties, and purposely chose a white lace skirt to play up on the fresh snowfall. And yes, I clashed red plaids on purpose.

Happy Friday the 13th!! Wishing you a lovely weekend ahead! xo

Been on the hunt for one of these long, quilted, duvet-style coats with the puffed collar that converts to a hood for quite some time now. A two year search ended beautifully with this Giselle Puffer Collar Coat from Elie Tahari’s Fall/Winter 2014 lineup. Wearing the Tahari puffer coat with a crochet knit, coin collar necklace, and other reliable recycled pieces. Almost forgot to mention that it’s incredibly warm and very lightweight.

Enjoy your day, XO
