Spice up your coat closet
November 18, 2011 by Cristi
Happy Friday, ladies!
It is officially that time of the year when coats are a must!
Isn’t it funny that coats are probably some of the most worn items during the winter months, and yet they are last thing we think about when getting dressed.
Is your coat ADDING or SUBTRACTING from your look?
Give your look some life by choosing a coat that has dimension, color, and/or detail.
Today, I introduce to you some new additions to my coat closet.
Meet “ Mrs Neutral-Yet-Sassy.”
She can pretty much go with just about anything. Take a closer look and you will find ruffles, buttons and bows- oh my! Love her.
*Coat: Jolt at TjMaxx; Boots: Guess; Top: Xhilaration at Target; Belt: Vintage- grandma’s closet
Then, meet “Little Miss Sunshine.”
She brings a little summer love into these dark and cloudy months. Pair her with bright pants and beanie- and you are good to go.
*Coat: Clearance Rack Old Navy; Ruffled white shirt: Vintage- grandma’s closet; Beanie: handmade by Mutze; Shoes: Doll House at Ross
Last but not least… here is “Mrs. Plaid and Patches.”
She adds character and style to your everyday attire. Pair her with some neutral boots, and a fun hat!

LOVE all of those beautiful coats! All so different but make amazing looks!
Thanks Caitlin!
I definitely need help here. I did finally get a nice coat to wear to church instead of wearing my parka.
All these coats are so fun – I especially love the first one with the ruffles. Thanks for the inspiration, Cristi!
So glad to hear you left the parka home and got a new coat!
Cute! I would love a new coat – I’m so over my wool plaid pea coat. I’d like something in a dark charcoal grey, that’s a little lighter and easier to move in. Love that yellow coat, though!
Yes-Charcoal grey is perfect for adding to any outfit!
So fun!!! Thanks for the fabulous post!
Thanks Allison!
I love the bow on the back of the first coat! I’m a bit of a coat nut too… I recently got made fun of by a clerk at Old Navy for buying a denim jacket (cropped length) when I was already wearing a denim jacket (a longer style, TOTALLY different). Hmph. ; )
The bow is my favorite part! Yes- totally different jackets with different lengths!
Great fashion sense, Cristi!
Thanks!
Love the yellow one!
