Spotted Coat

January 2nd, 2013

Free People Coat, Celine Sunglasses, T by Alexander Wang Top, J.Crew Skirt, Louboutin Booties, Alexandra DeClaris Clutch

We went to a wedding on New Year’s Eve and I wore a simple long-sleeved dress that I’ve had for a while (seen here). But since it was black, and approximately 98% of the attending women wore the same color, I wanted something to punch it up a bit. I bought this leopard faux fur coat for the occasion and it worked out perfectly. It was warm enough for a chilly evening and the leather paneling and swingy shape make it playful enough to wear during the day.

    Such a good idea (and I love the idea of a New Year’s Eve wedding)! That coat has a great silhouette. Hope you had a great #NYE!

    I love how you style an item of clothing to make it your own and original. A New Years Eve wedding would have been so magical.
    Happy New Year!!!

    What I like the most is that you are always smart about buying new things. For the wedding, you opted to wear a dress you already had, but bought a new coat, which I am sure you’ll be wearing the heck out of it. Love how you balance out your cuteness and edgiest vibe. Best wishes for 2013 for you and your followers!

    Love the leopard print and that coat, and you pull it off so well. I never thought of pairing that teal color with leopard, but it works so well– I guess leopard truly is a basic!
