This week I wanted to focus on outerwear pieces in my wardrobe that would be in rotation this fall season! The fist outerwear piece is the "Check Yourself Coat" a checked blue, yellow and green cinched waist coat. I styled all 5 outfits with different cuts of jeans and boots as the foundation, allowing me to transform all looks while still having a cohesive story.

This coat was handed down to me and I absolutely love that it is over-sized. It has a cinched waist giving it a better fit than your average boxy coat. I decided to mix the check print with a floral blouse. The prints balance out because the black, grey and white color tones don't overwhelm the outfit. The two paired together make for a great contrast of colors. Accessory wise the lieutenant hat and boxy purse tie the structure look altogether. The skinny denim is a great choice when working with over-sized coats and blousey tops. You don't want to look like you are completely drowning. The Chelsea boots kept the vibe masculine. Tune in for the rest of the outerwear pieces this week! See how I style 4 other key outerwear pieces!
