Clutch Look: Spring Forward?
Not surprisingly, just after setting our clocks an hour forward for Daylight Savings, Seattle’s temperature dropped and welcomed snow and ice with open arms. Living in an unpredictable climate my entire life has taught me the importance of building a versatile wardrobe – knowing what pieces can carry through all four seasons.
Before it started snowing on Sunday, the weather was actually gorgeous. Thinking it was a little too good to be true, I dressed prepared in one of my new favorite no-fail looks: t-shirt dress, winter leggings (thicker than normal leggings), boots, long jacket and a hat.
A few weeks ago, I spotted this amazing cape-like jacket by BCBGirls at Macy’s. While I loved it enough to pay full price, after a 70% discount, it only cost about $60. The pocket tee dress is also new purchase from Forever 21 and at just $12.80, I highly recommend everyone pick one up ASAP.
Wearing:
- T-shirt dress: Forever 21
- Jacket: BCBGirls
- Winter leggings: AA
- Boots: Report (from two years ago)
- Hat: Bebe
- Necklace: Forever 21
- Bag: Target (also new purchase)
Girl, that jacket is AMAZING. I love it with the grey dress – totally wonderful.
I also love your BOOTS! They’re chic with a little steampunky edge.
Great outfit, that cape is so awesome!
Miss Elle – Thanks girl! Don’t you love finding great things on sale?!
Jessica – Thanks so much, doll!
I totally have a bag like that, but I purchased mine from H&M.
& I really adore this outfit. :] You reminded me that I need to get some grey tights.
You look awesome. I love the combination of fancy jewelry and casual clothing. And the great jacket/cape!
Gorgeous look! That outfit is juts about perfection and I have total boot envy. Living in Portland it’s the same situation. All this week has been rainy or even snowing one minute, and sunny the next. Frustrating but also fun.
great boots!
