Accessorize with a brooch

Elevate your winter coat with a vintage brooch. You can find them at consignment stores, on Etsy and in your grandmother’s jewelry box, but don’t take before asking! I received this vintage Chanel brooch for Christmas, and I’ve had a lot of fun styling it. I haven’t worn brooches much until now, but I love how they can complete any outfit.

I bought this coat at Zara last weekend in Chicago, and of course I can’t find it online. I did link some other fabulous plaid coats, so you can recreate my look. Now is a great time to buy a coat because many are on sale! The booties were a Christmas gift from last year, so I can’t find them either.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy humpday!! I’m featuring the ultimate groutfit today. I don’t usually wear gray jeans as I prefer to wear different shades of blue, but I’m loving the side-seam trend. I decided to give these a shot, and I’m so glad I did! I highly recommend investing in a pair of jeans with this detailing because they can make a simple outfit a little more fun. This cashmere sweater is right on trend with the star pattern and athleisure-style hood. I added my favorite bomber jacket and sneakers to top off this casual look.

I’ll wear these jeans into the spring with basic tees and feminine blouses. Add a sandal, and let the denim do the talking! What do you think about the side-seam trend and this monochromatic look? I’d love to get your feedback!

How fun are these jeans? Sweet Henry gave them to me for Christmas, and of course, I couldn’t wait to wear them. I grabbed my pink sweater and coat to wear to work. Margaret gave me the velvet bow that matches the jeans perfectly. I love how fresh and light this winter look is. I definitely recommend purchasing a blush coat – you’ll be surprised how much it goes with! Let me know if you need help styling your own pink coat.

You’ve seen this skirt and these booties before, but I decided to pair this combo with a bolder sweater. I cannot tell you how much I’ve worn these shoes over the last few years. They truly go with everything and will make any outfit a little more interesting. These booties plus many others on Bloomingdales are under $200. Go check them out!
