Even though I’m from Texas, and usually had only 2 seasons growing up (Christmas & Summer), I have always had a coat fetish! Trench coats were always light enough to wear even in the “Fall” when it’s 70 degrees there. Nowadays, I have different problems! I usually need a jacket in Chicago, where 9 months out of the year, you’re not sure if you’ll need it!
Trench coats still hold a special place in my closet, and this year I found the perfect one! In general, I love them because you can layer them underneath and manage the temperature, but no matter what, they always look polished and provide structure. I found this one at Club Monaco and was impressed by the flow in the fabric and comfort. It looked almost like a dress! If you tie it in the back it provides the perfect frame for any outfit.
Since we’re nearing the end of winter and I’m anxious to start wearing dresses, I couldn’t resist this long-sleeved piece from BCBG. It’s super flowy and flattering. It’s a great dress for a date, church, or a nice weekend brunch! The cut of the dress reminds me a bit of a cute tennis skirt, adds a touch of sportiness. I paired it with a black lace-up booties, that remind me of boxing shoes and a two-tone bag! What are your favorite winter-to-spring coats right now? xo -Z
