First off HAPPY NEW YEAR! Did you do anything special to ring in the New Year? We just stayed in with the kids but everyone got to stay up a bit later than usual.
I am really looking forward to 2014. I feel some changes are in the air but it is all for the best. I am sure all of it will unfold here in due time.
So this coat might be one of my all time favourite finds. I don’t wear it all the time; it draws quite a few stares as Toronto is very much a sea of black in the winter. Still it is super warm and oh so fun.
I have learned that the best way to wear this coat is with a really simple outfit underneath. I have worn it over fancier, more complicated looks during Fashion Week before and it is like the outfit is competing with the coat.
I am loving the latest addition to the gold arm party on my wrist; the Bauble Bar chevron bracelet looks great on its own too. Plus gold and cheetah just works.
Outfit details: Cheetah Coat Vintage (similar), Black jeans & Suede boots Madewell, sweater & tee GAP, Bracelets Bauble Bar, Olive & Piper, Stella & Dot.
Funny story about this coat. I was wearing it one night during fashion week in October and I was approached by a PETA protester. I took one look at the pamphlet and turned around. I looked at her, handed her back the pamphlet and said “the coat isn’t REAL!… and it is Vintage.” I guess it had her fooled 😉
