Classics

Trench Coat: J.Crew | Jeans: Nordstrom | Scarf: Lilly Pulitzer (similar, similar) | Bag: Tory Burch
 Shoes: Tory Burch my FAVORITE flats | Sunnies: Ray-Ban | Watch: Kate Spade 40% OFF |
Bracelet: c/o Kendra Scott | Earring: J.Crew Factory

This is a perfect outfit for those in-between weather days, when its still kinda chilly, but the sun breaks out in the aafternoon. Light layers like a classic trench coat are perfect for every season, I can't stress that enough. If you saw me on a day-to-day basis (especially at work) you would see that I wear the heck out of these Caroline Tory Burch flats they are my absoulte favorite. Not only are they cute, they are soooo comfortable, if you get a dark color though, make sure you wear little socks with them, they will dye your feet the color of the leather if you do not. This is really just an outfit full of some of my go to classic staples; ankle jeans, a trench coat, a fun scarf, and my favorite Tory flats. With these four items you can literally make an endless amount of outfits all year around.

I was so excited to wear my new trench coat for the first time today and I am in love with it. It is so comfortable and looks cute open and closed, I feel so classy in it, you definitely need to add this beauty to your Christmas list. I got this sweater and pants on clearance at J.Crew(extra 30% off sale online, they had an extra 40% off in my store + student discount). You have to go check out their sale section. I love wearing big sweaters they are stylish but still supper comfortable and I felt that this would be a great color to also carry into my spring wardrobe. Also I want to remind everyone that you don't always have to wear dark colors during fall you can still break out your light color neutrals  and pastels like the lavender I am wearing, and yes even your white jeans. What is your favorite "rule breaker" for the fall?

Layers for Fall: My favorite Coats

Shop these coats with the pictures above ^^ Just click and shop!

Here are a few of my favorite layering pieces for fall that also transition well into winter.

Pea Coat
I currently own the navy J.Crew pea coat and can been seen in these posts (Pea Coat Weather, Christmas Plaid). I absolutely love this pea coat it is a very heavy wool that will keep you warm though any football game and is a great investment (remember student discount of 15%).

Dress Coats
Last year I owned a gold tweed dress coat but sadly it no longer fits it is to large on me, so this year I have invested in the Lady Day coat from J.Crew in the linen color. I felt that if I only own one dress coat I should chose a neutral color but I obsessed with a bold coat it can really make a statement. If you already own a great dress coat I would suggest investing in a fun color or patterned dress coat this year to add into your wardrobe.

Trench Coat
Trench Coats are a wardrobe necessity and this fall I have purchased the J.Crew Trench and am excited to be styling it for some coming up blog posts. When shopping I looked at the Coach trench coat and was disappointed with the fit, I did not like the way it hung over the back. I of course tried on a Burberry coat and it was to die for but also the price was to die for ): The J.Crew trench was definitely a happy choice for me.

Vest
I love vests, I have a Lilly Pulitzer vest that I find myself wearing all the time so this year I invested in the J.Crew nude vest that can be styled with anything. I also like the Old Navy vests this year for a stylish cheaper option.

As I wrote this I definitely see a strong trend of J.Crew, J.Crew, and more J.Crew... I honestly love the brand because their clothing fits my body well. Also out of the many purchases I have made from this company I have only been unsatisfied with one purchase.... so needless to say I have just had great experiences with the company.
