It's a new year, a new month, a new season, but the same coat as seen my last two posts, here and here . I'm usually pretty dormant between Christmas and the end of January as the weather can be untenable, but here lately we've had a warmish streak. So here's the first outfit of 2026! hat--??? but here's something similar from Wooly Bear Knits , coat--Nordstrom(similar here ), dress--Anthropologie(similar here ), turtleneck-- Cuddl Duds , loafers--Madewell(similar here ), necklace--Banana Republic(similar here ) I've worn and posted this almost exact look about two years ago here . In fact this outfit was my first posting of the new 2024 year, I guess I'm becoming predictable, but in my last post I was questioning my style mojo, so returning to a look I know works and makes feel like I'm wearing an outfit, not just clothes can be kind of grounding, a reset of sorts.
I don't know friends, is this even an outfit or just clothes? I think the holiday stress, cold weather, and just general malaise has worn down this outfitter into a woman who is just wearing clothes... can it be real? You make the call. coat-Nordstrom(similar here ), vest-LL Bean(similar here ) dress- Universal Standard , sunnies-Versace(more options here ), tired necklace-J.Crew Factory(similar here ), necklace/bracelets-- Slide Jewels, bag- Herschel , boots- DSW Individually all of these pieces feel stylish. The sweater dress is a neutral basic, but still relatively chic. The coat is a classic wardrobe staple (featured here and here ). The vest is a quality item that provides interesting layers and textures. The jewelry provides polish, while the boots are fun, trending, and provide a contrasting aesthetic to the overall look. The bag I will admit doesn't feel "right" I thought maybe it works color-wise with the coat (perhaps in a more casual look). I just do...
