In Between Weather Coat

So it's not quite freezing but it's not no jacket weather either.  What's a girl to wear in this in between weather? Trench coats are always an easy go to but let's try something a little out of the box.

Gap, Modern Bomber Jacket, $89

How luxurious is this jacket? I'm obsessed with the color, texture and collar.

J Crew Factory, Gilded tweed jacket, $88

This is very First Lady don't you think? I would even add a patent leather belt to this.

Newport News, Zip front leather jacket, $99

That's right, under $100. Great darting through the torso, makes this jacket ready for Fall.

Banana Republic, Lace trim jacket, $79

I love this jacket. It's ladylike, it's cozy, and it has gorgeous detailing.

So what do you wear for this in between weather? Vests are big this season, any other ideas?

Faux Fur Vests

Hey lovebugs, have you jumped on the faux fur vest train yet? I can't say I have, but I'm warming up to the trend more and more. Here are my fave picks for this style.

Nordstrom, Only Mine Allison Faux Fur Vest, $78

I like the length of this vest, it doesn't make your legs look shorter.  The color is very versatile.

Macys, Ralph Lauren Faux Fur Sherpa, $98

Now this I love. The sherpa is so different from the fur trend.

Arden B, Faux Fox Fur Vest, $44

This is a nice starter vest. It's not too bulky but it definitely makes a statement.

Piperlime, Eight Sixty Faux Fur Vest, $27

Talk about a steal! And I love the zipper on this vest, makes it easy to bundle up!

I don't know if I will get on the faux fur train this winter; how do you style yours?

I know what you’re thinking…Kelsey would never write a post about dressing up “non-preppy.” Surprise! It’s not Kelsey! I’m Sara, Kelsey’s little sister. While my sister and I are best friends, we have almost nothing in common besides our love of dogs and food (It’s good to be a Heinze). When Kels asked me to do a guest post, I was a little hesitant because fashion is DEFINITELY not my thing. I have no shame in saying most of my clothes Kelsey picked out or I got for Christmas. Being the athlete of the family, I never got into the preppy look but I do have my own style. This post is for all of you who can’t pull off the polka dotty-pulitz-a-tucket look.

Anyone who knows me knows I rarely leave that house without my cowboy boots on. They’re a winter essential and a great investment. Wear them everywhere to break them in.

Durango, Women's Distressed Leather Boot, $93

Right now I’m really into baggy blouses and tops. The way they fall makes your outfit look effortless and they are very forgiving if you’re not feeling great about yourself. Get one that falls off the shoulder for an easy look for a night out.

Nordstrom, Lush Oversized Boxy Tee, $26

And for those of you who’re really adventurous, a pair of dunks is a solid and original contribution to any outfit.  Be confident and strut your street cred with these!

Nike, Women's Dunks, $84

Hope you enjoyed my guest post, and keep reading my sister’s blog! She’s basically awesome.

Reader Request: Style My Bootie

Hey there lovebugs, Happy Monday to you. How was your weekend? It snowed here in DC! I loved it, I'm such a cold weather girl.

Today's topic is a reader request from the lovely and talented, Kat.  She is wondering how to style booties and stay under budget. No problem Kat and thank you for the challenge!

I did a post on booties last fall which you can find here, but let's try something new for this season.

Nine West, Bevel, $76

Ok, these are an edgier take on a loafer. I'm thinking skinny jeans and deep v-neck sweater. Please note ladies, the heel height would disqualify these shoes from entering the work place in my book.

Old Navy, Sueded Desert Wedges, $34

I love these shoes. Not only for their price but for their versatility.  You can work these with bf jeans and a flannel button down or with a cord mini skirt and a chunky knit sweater.

Urban Outfitters, Kimichi Blue Chelsea Heel, $69

Now this is how we do booties for work. Think black and white tweed skirt with black tights I really like how they continue the suede down the heel.

Modcloth, Knack for Khaki Boot, $47

I really love these for the weekend. The perfect coffee outside with jeans and a toggle coat outfit. And the price is nice too!

I agree, booties can be hard to match and style, and sometimes they look like they cut you off at your ankles, so look for a style that can easily mix into your wardrobe, whether that's rocker, preppy, or somewhere in between.
