If I told you how long I’ve been searching for a light blue coat you’d laugh in my face. YEARS PEOPLE. Seriously every single one (& there were plenty of them) was either not the right shape, a shade too light or too dark, way too long, too short, you get the idea. Ok so maybe I was being picky but I knew if I kept waiting I’d eventually find the perfect one. Thanks to Elie Tahari, I did! This one is under $200 & so worth the splurge. It’s surprisingly super warm (I layered it with a sweater in about 40 degrees & was totally fine) & goes with everything.
I paired it with a groutfit (never thought I’d admit to wearing one of those) that I got last year at H&M. Don’t be intimidated by wearing what might feel like your PJ’s in public. So long as you pair them appropriately you can make it work. For a more casual look I placed my perfect, little coat (yay!) over this sweatsuit (tied it around my waist when it wasn’t needed) & a pair of sneakers for running errands. Pair this knit suit with a black cross-body bag & some wedge heels for a dinner or night out. After all, what’s better than a comfortable AND great outfit!
Shop This Look: jacket (this one was a close runner-up) | sweater | pants–under $20! (similar) | ring | sneakers
