Black & Red

I love the combination of black and red, not only because that just so happens to be my favorite team's colors but also because it's so effortlessly chic.  This amazing coat was a gift from my parents for Christmas and it has been a winter staple for me ever since.  The length is perfect for dresses and jeans alike and there's plenty of room for layers underneath.  It also has a hood, which is something I really wanted for those mornings when Elsa decides to unleash her furry it's snowing.  Boxy coats don't really work for my body shape, so the fact that I can define my waist with the belt is perfect.  As far as the shoes, I've had these heels for a couple years now and just recently rediscovered them for Wear Red Day.  I love them because the heel isn't outrageously high so I can comfortably wear them all day, and the Mary Jane strap adds a retro flair.  Since the 12 inches or so of snow that we got this week won't be melting anytime soon, I can safely say that this coat won't be getting packed away anytime soon.

Lady in Red

I love a good pop of color against the usual winter gray, especially if it comes in the form a bright coat.  I'm a total sucker for coats and usually end up purchasing a new one every winter.  They're my favorite cold weather accessory!  This one in particular is one of my all time favorites.  The military style buttons combined with the swing coat shape just makes for the perfect fit, with enough room for layers so that you don't look like the kid from A Christmas Story.  It's also at the perfect length that it looks great with skinny jeans and dresses alike.  And don't be afraid to rock a colorful coat with a just as colorful outfit.  You can never have too much color in the winter!


PS: I am seriously cringing at the sight of my roots in these photos and will be scheduling a hair appointment ASAP.  I just can't seem to stick with a plan as to what I want to do.  Decisions, decisions ...
