No matter how cold or crappy it was going to be today, I was bound and determined to wear my new trench coat. I picked it up last weekend at Old Navy, and since I have no patience to wait for spring, I'm attempting to winterize it now.
Since Fridays are full of meetings and various jobs, I know I would be on the move for most of the day. While my "inside" outfit was nothing special, it was all about the "commuter" look.
As soon as I brought this baby home, I couldn't stop thinking about his simple combination. With an impending snow storm on the horizon, I stuck to pants and shoes that wouldn't get too ruined in the event that I would be walking home in snow. Good foresight, too - because I walked home in the snow.
I have so many plans for this soon-to-be wardrobe workhorse. But, for now, it's sweats, CSI and a little dinner - as I watch the snow fall, fall, fall.

Oh man I can soo relate!! This week I got a black leather moto of eBay for $10, and bought a cream pleather one from target... I want to wear them NOW! Unfortunately it's in the teens and twenties out so I need a bit more insulation than tho... ho hum.
ReplyDeleteBTW I LOVE the trench... I have a navy statement trench but I have been thinking I want a classic beige one too since I get so much wear out of the navy one. I think you just convinced me with this outfit, you look simply fabulous!
FANTASTIC! You can't go wrong with a trench. My favorite trench I ever owned was actually an Old Navy one circa 2002 and this year, actually a few months ago, I finally donated it because of a stain that I could not save. :(
ReplyDeleteI love your trench - in fact...that might be on my birthday wish list.
Looking fab as always! Have a great weekend Kyla!
