The new Matron in Town

The word matron is used to describe a dignified older woman with a huge responsibility or office and in the past, it was an honor to be addressed as a matron. Fast forward to our age and the word Matron has lost most of its appeal. In fact, even the older ladies do not want to be addressed as such especially when it is used in relation to the description of clothing.

This beige coat here is as matronly as you can have it and it is dignified at the same time. I chose to style it tied with most of my clothing covered because I wanted to make the coat the highlight. I added the burgundy hat as an afterthought but it does add some color to the neutral colored pieces.

                                                                    Coat: Consignment Store
                                                                    Animal Prints bag: Gifted
                                                                    Pumps: Target
                                                                    Jeans: Loft

The next time I am styling this piece, I would give it a little edge by losening the ties and keeping it free then I would ditch the hat and go higher on the heels. Until then, this Matron says hello!

Behind the scenes

Hi friends, I have been off from Blogsville for a few days because I have been super busy behind the scenes. I have been trying to create a perfect balance in my schedule in between work, family and other beautiful things that make life great. I hope everyone is doing good and having fun so far. Hopefully, I would have some more time soon to resume my normal blogging schedule.

This outfit is what I wore today to run errands around town and it is the outfit inspired by the Polyvore Collage I blogged about here sans the shorts. The shirt is pretty old and I have had it for years but I just can't let go of it yet because it's so comfy. I love the soft linen fabric. I'm currently craving this long sleeved version on J. Crew here. I swopped the shorts for some denim pants because fall is upon us already and it was a little chilly today. My new trench coat from Old navy came in handy too.
