Fall Outerwear

When it comes to outerwear, I have to admit I am not the biggest fan. Sure, there are pretty coats out there in numerous colors, prints, and cuts, but for me, a blazer is about as 'outerwear' as I get.

Just this weekend, it was 39 degrees as I left the house and I begrudgingly took my cute military style Loft coat with me. I drove down the street about thirty yards and had to stop the car so I could take my coat off. I appreciate my coat when I am outside for the two seconds it takes to get in my car or into a building, but after that, I get too hot and have to shed it.

I still found myself looking at several coats and thinking they were so cute. None of them are practical for me (considering I have worn my coat a grand total of two times in two years). But I know a lot of my readers live in colder climates than I and can probably appreciate a post devoted to cute fall/winter styles.

The top two blazers are a little more my style for fall and winter. A blazer is the perfect thing to keep me warm. I am still loving bright colors as we head into winter too!

The two-toned trend is one that has me itching to buy a coat even though I never wear them. I love the idea of a trench coat with leather sleeves or a blazer with sequin sleeves. These may be cute enough to pull me out of my 'no coat' tradition. 

Have a great day!

  1. I am in need of a new winter coat. Since winters here in Boston can be pretty unpredictable, I basically need a coat in every style, haha! :)

  6. I wish I could live without a coat too, but unfortunately walking to work doesn't allow this for me :(
    I love the trench with the leather sleeves. I think this would be my ideal look :)

  8. I have a very similar two-toned jacket that I wore in my last post (grey with leather) I LOVE leather sleeves on anything!
    I am really lusting over a sweatshirt with them!

  12. I love your ideas about Fall fashion - I tend to go very classic in my outerwear, but the idea of a two-toned trench makes my heart flutter!

  14. Blazers are definitely good middle ground if you don't like a heavy coat, which is why I have so many of them! I did invest in a nice long heavy trench coat from H&M that comes in handy for the super cold days though.
