A beautiful coat is always a must have item for everyone. It can be thrown on for warmth as well as style, and if it’s as lush as this marigold suede one by Theory, and its on sale, it’s a no brainer. I know what you’re thinking… suede is a delicate fabric, requiring a “handle with care” attitude. But sometimes you simply must throw caution to the wind and trust that the fashion gods will be on your side. To that end, I do not plan to eat or drink, and certainly not apply lipstick while wearing it. Otherwise, the sky’s the limit!

Let’s move on to the jeans. L’Agence is a fashion house that I have loved for a while and their denim is fantastic. It has a lot of shape and a lot of stretch, without bagging out or falling down. I was not sure about this pair with its chain pattern; I thought it might not flatter my thighs, but after much encouragement from shop owner, Jami Lyn , I emerged from the fitting room and liked what I saw. With this much print to the pant, it’s best to keep the top quiet, hence I opted for a white blouse. I could not believe how well my tried and true now vintage Dior boots with their yellow heel, added to this outfit. In addition, the black boot seems to extend the length of my leg. I can wear these pants with flats, but I think they look best with a heel.

I am officially obsessed with this necklace and its designer, Safia Day. Linked in above photo and also available in LA at Yellow Dog
