Statement Coats
When it comes to outerwear, conventional wisdom says that a woman should invest in good neutral options, like a camel coat or a black coat. While that certainly is sage advice, some days just call for something different. After all, who wants to cover up a wonderful outfit with a plain coat? Let’s flip that conventional wisdom around and think about adding a statement coat to our closets this season.

The great thing about a statement coat is that it can elevate your every day basics into an eye-catching street style look. More importantly, it might just make you smile a bit more as you trudge through these chilly days.
The statement coat itself makes the outfit, so there is no need to fuss too much about what’s underneath – as long as it keeps you warm!

Cute coat! I don’t have a statement coat – tend to stick to the classics since it does get pretty cold here and I find I need to get a lot of wear out of it. Love that nail polish.
That makes sense, Sheri… Here, we can go a bit lighter and have a bit more fun with our coats. Thanks for stopping by!
