Sneaks

Coat- c/o Sheinside, Sweater- Gap (similar), Jeans- Loft, Shoes- Asics, Necklace- J.Crew Factory, Sunglasses- Forever 21

I've joined the bandwagon of wearing skinny jeans with sneakers. (Does anyone else call them tennis shoes? For some reason I feel weird saying sneakers.) I hadn't bought a new pair of tennis shoes in so long, but I needed a pair for work recently so I picked up these emerald ones. Looking back, I think I would have preferred a gray or black pair, but I do really like the color of these. I have worn them several times with skinny jeans when I am running out on the weekends with neutral outfits, but they also felt right in a monochrome scheme. Most comfortable errand running outfit ever.

Jeweled Beanie

Coat- H&M (similar under $40), Sweater- Old Navy, Jeans- c/o Aeropostale (similar under $20), Boots- Calvin Klein, 

Beanie- Target, Fur Collar- Charming Charlies (similar), Gloves- Target (similar), Bag- Rebecca Minkoff

Am I the only one who gets excited to see 30 and 40 degree days when I check my weather app? I have been thrilled that we have had some really cold days in Texas so that I can bundle up in lots of layers! It isn't often that I can get away with wear a hat, faux fur collar, coat, and gloves, so when the opportunity arises, I have to soak it up. I chose this outfit based around my rhinestone beanie and faux fur collar (that I found at Charming Charlie's for $5 might I add). My pink coat was screaming for the addition of the faux fur, and I love the mix of light pink, cream and gray. I couldn't resist adding the beanie on top, because it was cold, and because it's cute! I can't wait to style more cold weather looks in the weeks ahead.

Please tell me I'm not the only person who has an obsession with a particular article of clothing or accessory that doesn't work well for the climate you live in or for your lifestyle. What I'm getting at is that I LOVE buying coats. I don't even want to count how many I have because its embarrassing. The reason why this is a particularly worthless obsession is that I live in Texas. We get maybe 3 months of coat-appropriate weather, maybe. And yet, every fall (before it ever gets the slightest bit cold) I go into a coat obsessed frenzy! You saw my September haul post where I bought not one, but two coats. I'll let you in on a little secret- my November haul contains several more coats...Embarrassing.

Candy Colored

Coat- c/o Sheinside (on sale), Tee- Hanes men's tee , Jeans- c/o Aeropostale, Boots- Wanted (similar), Earrings- Jeweliq (identical), Bag- Kate Spade

What do you wear when the weather insists on being cold well into March when you are absolutely sick of your winter wardrobe? Wear a candy colored coat of course! I was actually excited for cold weather yesterday since it meant I could break out this blue beauty from Sheinside. I loved the way this shade of blue paired with my new blush Kate Spade, and was inspired to paint my nails the same pink shade.

This is my second piece of outerwear from Sheinside, and I have to say, I'm impressed with the quality you get for the price. Their coats are affordable enough that you can pick one up in a fun shade for the transition into spring. Just remember to size up! I'm wearing a medium and the fit is pretty snug.

Fur Layer

Coat- H&M (similar), Vest- Sears, Top- Zara, Jeans- c/o Aeropostale, Boots- Zara, Bag- Coach, Necklace- Lulu's (similar here, here), Watch- Fossil

I've always loved the idea of layering with fur, but wasn't quite sure how to pull it off. It seems almost inevitable that it would look bulky. I think the secret is to wear your fur vest under a longer coat that already fits close to the body. This pink coat paired perfectly with my vest, which is great because I'm trying to wear it as often as I can before I have to pack it away until next winter!

So... I have to mention the elephant in the room- my new Coach bag! If you saw my February haul, you know I recently purchased a new Kate Spade bag, but when this one went on sale I decided it would be a nice to have for days when I want to carry something smaller. I'd been saving up a Nordstrom gift card I won a few month's ago, and this was a great piece to spend it on. Unfortunately it sold out pretty quickly after it was marked down, but I was able to find it on another website (linked above).

I've been drooling over camel coats this season. I pulled some of my favorite inspiration images from Pinterest, and compiled a collection of the best camel coats I could find below. Which on is your favorite?
