Grey Sweater Dress + Green trench Coat

Happy Monday everyone. I hope to make this post as short as possible. I'm wearing a grey color sweater dress and a vintage green color vintage trench coat that has a removable floral lining for extra warmth. I love how the color of the coat just makes the otherwise grey outfit pop. This sweater dress is an old one from the closet purchased from Victorias' Secret years ago. The neckline can be turned into an off-shoulder style; can be worn as a cowl neck and it can also be worn over the head like a hood. I just love the versatility of this sweater dress. I wear it a lot in the winter months and it is so worn now that I think it is finally time to give it a break. I'll only wear it to lounge at home from now onwards. I paired the grey dress with high heeled ankle boots and a black bag; trying to keep it very simple and neutral underneath the green coat.  Lastly, my green and gold tone statement earrings completed the look. If you are asking what I'm thinking; yes, the coat is a thrifted piece from years ago. I think I paid about $15 or $20 dollars for it and then I had it dry cleaned too. I take care of all my winter coats and store them properly because they are not really just fashion pieces for me but essentials. I have a couple of 100 % wool coats that actually cost up to a $1000 for a new piece but I got each of them for under $100 at the thrift and consignment store like the camel coat I wore here and here.  You need to have good warm coats and trench coats if you live in Minneapolis. Thanks so much for stopping by here.

Red wool Coat + All black Outfit

Hello! I am feeling like it's been a while on here 😁 This is going to be a very short post. The weather has been extreme in my state of Minnesota and this February has set a new record as the snowiest February on record in Minnesota. Can you believe it? And February is not even over yet; this means that the snow record is really going to be exceptional. I have been wearing most of my wool coats lately and this is a quick post of an all-black  casual outfit with a pop of red. I like the idea of infusing some color every now and then into my winter outfit and this reminds me that spring is just around the corner. I hope the weather is nice and beautiful wherever you are.

Faux Jumpsuit + Oversized camel color Coat

One of my styling tricks is pairing shades of same color together in a monochromatic style to achieve a totally new look thereby making the pieces versatile. I am able to achieve a faux jumpsuit just by pairing a simple top and pant together like I did in this look. The top and the pant are nearly the same shade of red so this makes the outfit look like a one piece. This styling tip definitely expands our wardrobe. My turtle neck top is from Boohoo and my pants are an old purchase from Victorias' Secret and the long length makes it perfect for layering in the winter. My oversized camel color coat completed the look and with the freezing temps we have been having here for days, a large comfy coat is a must. This coat is also a thrifted piece by the way.

The Camel Robe Coat: Formal Dress Essential

Happy Monday everyone and happy December. This is my favorite month in the year I tell you. I'm so looking forward to the Holiday/Christmas/New Year celebrations but I'm also hoping that time would slow down so that I can enjoy every bit of this season. If you are still looking to take advantage of all the discounts and sales at this time, you might want to add the long camel robe coat to your list. This is a closet essential if you ever dress up in formal attire for work or even dressing up for other events like weddings, Church services and formal parties. The robe coat is very elegant and classy and also very comfy and cozy. A good quality 100% wool coat is quite expensive and can be a big fashion investment. There are however, so many options available at different price points at different stores.

What to wear on a very cold Fall Day

If you live in a region like me where the fall weather quickly turns into winter before the official start time, you might have your winter coats and scarfs laid out already. A long coat or robe coat is a must have outer wear for a very cold day. A good quality wool coat or cashmere can cost over a thousand dollars in high end stores and a wool blend or equivalent cashmere blend can cost upper hundreds but it can be a good investment because you will get a warm cozy coat that you can wear for years. I must say too that; the shorter the coat, the cheaper it is. You can get more affordable styles online in UK stores like Asos and Misguided.

What to wear in a Blizzard

Happy Saturday Friends; it is snowing over here this weekend and if you are like me, you would wish to lay in bed snuggled under the blankets all day but life doesn't always work that way. Snow or not, you've got to go out and get things done. The outfit sets below are inspiration for those snowy days you wish you want to go about town wrapped up in heavy blankets; ponchos and shearling coats to the rescue...😂


Yes, we can still look cute in ponchos and shearling coats. The key is to accessorize with chic accessories like a great pair of boots, a statement handbag and some nice jewelry and/or make-up. That way, you won't look like you just rolled out of bed to quickly go grab something from the store.

Gone are the days when "leopard prints"was every lady's print; when leopard print accessories were the trend. These days, classic prints like polka dots, houndstooth, gingham and tartan (plaid) have entered main street fashion. They can be in the form of accessories like scarfs, bags and hats and they can also be the classic winter coat or jacket. Last year, I did a similar post on the classic winter prints here and a year later they are still here. What I'm really loving most about these prints is their evolution from coats and jackets into scarfs, I'm definitely loving this trend; are you?
