Look of the Week: Tan Waterfall Coat

I haven't been feeling much like dressing up lately, with this cold refusing to subside, so I've been resorting to super cozy jackets and low-heeled ankle boots when I feel the need to look presentable! Doesn't sound so bad, does it? This faux-suede waterfall jacket from Winners is insanely soft inside (seriously, my whole family was petting it yesterday), so it's an obvious choice if I have to actually get out of my pjs.

And these ankle boots? Just enough height to make them more exciting than flats, but still super easy to walk in. If you're going to invest in one pair of fashionable boots for next season, these mushroom/olive suede ankle boots from The Bay are a great choice. They're sold out now, but I've linked to similar ones below. Just don't wear them when you're driving a standard car, it will wear out the back of the heels. Such a sad moment when I realized what had happened...learn from my mistakes, folks!

Thrifty Thursday

Bright hues are out this week: now it's all burnt oranges, faded browns, and classic black. I do love colour, but my favourite thrifted picks this week are toned down...yet still ever so fabulous. I love picking something up and immediately imagining what I can style it with.

My rule for sweaters: when in doubt, try it on! Well, that's really my rule for thrifting in general, but it especially holds true for sweaters. I thought I'd give this one the benefit of the doubt, and once I tried it on I had all kinds of ideas for how to wear it! My first styling will be with a pair of skinny dark wash jeans and brown leather heeled boots; an easy fall outfit.

What it's Worth: ?

There a few really great hats for fall, and this is one of them. The floppy felt hat has a bit of a boho feel to it, but to me it also seems to have the femme fatale vibe to it: I think it's how it shades your eyes. If you can find yourself a fedora, that would also be another good choice for fall, and there's always tons of them in the thrift store!

What it's Worth: ?

I call this the pretty Parisian dress. It has my favourite classic combo of beige and black, and the simple cotton design makes for an easy-to-throw-on piece. I can just picture it with a cozy knit thrown over top and a pair of black polka dot tights and ballet flats.
