Okay, so this really isn't an outfit outfit. But since this is something I've actually worn, I'm making you look at these pictures. I wear all black pretty often; it's my go-to when I am running late for work and I don't know what to wear. It easy, you don't have to worry about complimentary colors, and it looks professional.
I've mentioned it before, but winter is not my favorite. I just hate being cold, and I hate the fact that it's always so dark and gloomy. It probably sounds silly, but having a bright coat helps a little. Since green is my favorite color, this coat is a little bit of happy for me on bleary days.
What about you? Do you have any clothing items that make you happy in the winter? What's your go-to professional outfit?

I love green! That coat is so fun.
ReplyDeleteI need a good long cardigan, scarves, and riding boots!
Agreed! A bright coat is so much more cheerful than standard black in a gloomy winter! That green is lovely.

I love the green coat! Most of my winter wear is neutral- black, gray, or white. But my brother did get me a pair of purple leather gloves for Christmas a couple years ago and I love the fun pop it gives in the blah weather :)
ReplyDeleteLove this bold coat! And the black outfit really lets the coat have all the attention!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute outfit! I love how the green brightens up all the black. I think I might have to try this look out!

I love, love color in winter. Why should we dress as dreary as the sky? I also am a fan of all black with a bright color.

That's a beautiful coat, Ashley! Sure to brighten up a dull winter day! And even I'm not a winter person_ can't stand the cold!
ReplyDeleteI love the green coat! I actually have a similar coat and I never remember to wear it. I need to pull it out of the closet!
ReplyDeleteI love that coat! I have a bright red one and it makes me feel slightly less blah when I'm wearing my typical winter color scheme of black and grey.
ReplyDeleteWinter's definitely not my favorite either but I think your coat makes it a little better. ;-)
ReplyDeletei LOVE the color of that coat. i need me a bright coat in my collection, but it'll have to wait until next winter when i can button things again :)
