The Leopard Coat

There are a few things I buy solely because they make me feel a certain way. A breezy sundress makes me feel carefree, a pair of ripped jeans makes me feel tough, and this here coat just makes me feel downright fabulous.

This coat gave me permission to buck that idea. Who says I can't make casually wearing a full on leopard print faux fur coat a thing?

That's not a word I throw around lightly, either. Fabulous is reserved for over-the-top, impractical, sparkly glamour. Think Iris Apfel, whose documentary on Netflix you've got to see. But when I saw this coat, on sale at that, it awoke something in me.

I've always loved being a little extra, but I've always thought there wasn't much place for that in everyday routine. This coat gave me permission to buck that idea. Who says I can't make casually wearing a full on leopard print faux fur coat a thing? Now that it's in my closet, I am convinced that I am a much more complete person.

A Million Bucks

You know that old saying, "It ain't fall until the fur comes out," right? No? Well, it's a thing, I promise. At least for me, it is. I can't put my finger on it, but wearing fur makes me feel like a million bucks, so the minute it gets cold enough to pull this vest out, I'm doing it.

The only dream I have at this present moment is to somehow live a life where luxurious fur coats, vests & shawls are a part of my everyday wardrobe.

Speaking of things I can't quite put my finger on, can anyone tell me why/how Thanksgiving is this week? I know everyone is already asking it, but where did 2015 go? I feel like it was just yesterday that I was laying out my goals and dreams for the year. See proof here.

The only dream I have at this present moment is to somehow live a life where luxurious fur coats, vests and shawls are a part of my everyday wardrobe. Silly, perhaps, but if there was something that made you feel like a million bucks, you'd want it all the time, too, no?

all dressed

It's safe to say that burgundy (or is it oxblood? Wine maybe?) is going to be a part of my fall color palette for forever. 

When I saw this  Bell Sleeve Chiffon dress on Wet Seal's website, that trustworthy light bulb flashed above my head and I thought, "Thanksgiving solved!"  

Layered with a faux fur vest, it's instant luxe without really any fuss. And if there's one thing I don't want on Turkey Day, it's fuss.
