....Winter is here and as much I may loathe it, I do often find myself immersed in the enchanting looks we can put together only during this time of year. Layering to me is like heaven. I do this all year round but with colder temperatures you can dive right into this coming out looking like a boho glam goddess. The piece that I would love to show you at this time is the icing on the cake. Your overcoat. So we're going to start from the outside going in during this blog series on how to layer yourself so you will just ravish all your onlookers!
All of these coats can be purchased at the mega fab, online shopping site, www.net-a-porter.com. Unfortunately I have extremely expensive taste, making not even one of these coats affordable to most. You just have to look at the design and what you would like to pull from each and go out there and try to find a look similar to what you've imagined in your head, drawn in your sketchbook, or saw on this very page.....but at a fraction of the price. Modcloth.com is drop dead for fabulous coats under $100! So is Target (hit or miss. you just have to go everyweek), H&M, and Forever21 who also carries plus sizes too now! J. Crew and Anthropologie have gorgeous varieties but you will be looking at around $300 give or take. Also check for sales around and especially after Christmas. I actually got my Theory knee length puffer, that I never take off, at Saks at this exact time during their 40% off sale, which actually began online today! As for that, if you do want to invest, it's definitely worth it. Hit up the sales (if they do not have your size no worries because a wonderful sales stylist will find it at another store and will ship it to you for free), and the outlets like Off Saks and the Nordstrom Rack. Other great lines to check out for coats that I have found to love are Rebecca Taylor, Leifsdottir, Milly, Theory, Elie Tahari, and Mcginn to name a few. Oh and Rachel Roy has a completely adorb line at Macy's. Check her out too. Those listed above are more of an investment but they will last you for years and years.
