You just can't go wrong with a tailored trench coat. I think most people wear them in Spring, but they can work year-round depending on where you live. It really is one of the most polished pieces you will ever own. I used to have one in a more classic style and in a traditional khaki color, but I sadly had to part ways when it no longer fit. Back in early Fall, I set out on a mission to find a decent replacement. I try to shop for petite outerwear when I can, and luckily Express came through. They have a more limited petite section than some stores do, but they also have some great staples that are extremely versatile. Although this isn't the color I had in mind, I'm really happy with it. The large zippered pockets keep my hands warm, and the length of the sleeves are perfect. I love wearing this coat with jeans, but I've also worn it over my black faux leather leggings and it definitely elevated the overall look. It would be gorgeous over a dress for a more formal occasion. The styling options are endless.
I'm really drawn to classic pieces in Winter...how would you describe your Winter style?

I don't have a winter style but I think it would be pretty classic too. love these flats, how's the sizing? is it true to size?
ReplyDeleteThanks Rachelle! The sizing runs small in my opinion. I normally wear a 6.5 or 7 in shoes and I went with a 7 and they are still a bit snug on my feet. They do stretch out a bit though and they are much more comfortable now then they were the first few times I wore them. I love them so much! You would look so adorable in them :) These have always been my "dream" shoes and I think they are worth it.
DeleteThat coat is beautiful! Classic and timeless! And it fits you so well!
ReplyDeleteThanks Laura! I'm happy I didn't have to alter it any way. So thankful for more brands offering petite!
DeleteYou know, I have this trench in pink and I really LOVE it, but I also wouldn't mind having the black too because it's that good, and sometimes I want something more subdued than pink. I love it here with the classic denim and cap toe flats!!
ReplyDeleteYes, the pink is gorgeous too! I hope they bring back more colors, but you really can't go wrong with any of them because the silhouette is so classic :)
