Closet Essential: A Cute Winter Coat

in outfits, what i'm wearing

Every since I came across this outfit on Pinterest, I’ve been obsessed with finding the perfect orange jacket to bring with me to Fashion Week in February.

Thankfully, I spent a lot of time at Macy’s over the last month, so I know the floor spread like the back of my hand. As soon as I saw this Kensie coat, I knew it was the one. (Yes — the one; I refer to my material goods as I do men.)

In true Macy’s fashion, my Kensie coat was an additional 25% off an already marked down price, so $48 later I was headed home without a hint of buyer’s remorse. Love when that happens, don’t you? Hoarding cute winter coats is always justifiable if you live in Chicago… Or that’s what I keep telling myself.

On a related note, meet my semi-new alice + olivia shoes. I scored them on sale (50% off!) at Nordstrom on my last trip to LA, but haven’t had a chance to wear them given the weather. It didn’t help that I was shopping with *the* shoe aficionado, Ashley. My favorite friends are the ones who won’t let you leave a store without a kick-ass pair of kicks. My parents don’t quite concur.

For today’s look, I paired them with my go-to boyfriend jeans. I’m addicted to the snooze button and I seriously can’t kick my vintage-tee-and-jeans lifestyle. It’s just too simple, chic and easy to take from day-to-night. I hope you’re not quite sick of it.
