2 Ways to Wear Something: J. Crew Stadium-Cloth Cocoon Coat

Orange Coat

Disclaimer: This blog post contains affiliate links.

My little nook of New England finally got hit with some snow.

But not before I was able to put together a couple of outfit with wear with a winter coat.

This J. Crew Stadium-Cloth Cocoon Coat was my most recent wardrobe investment. I got it last winter and it was definitely worth it for how often I wear it.

You can also save big by getting it from J. Crew Factory!

I wanted to show you just how easy it is to wear it both casually and a little more formally. And if a pair of overalls and a tight little black dress don’t demonstrate that then I don’t know what else could.

And given how cold out it is now, I’ll probably be doing the same thing with this coat.

A lot!

2 Ways to Wear Something: Christian Louboutin So Kate Heels

So Kate Two Ways

I am far from rich, so I don’t have many investment pieces.

My Christian Louboutin So Kate heels are my among my utmost possessions. I saved, and I mean saved, up for these bad boys like you wouldn’t believe! I love wearing them, because they’re gorgeous little works of art. Plus, they make my legs look AMAZING.

However, they aren’t exactly the most comfortable shoes, so I don’t wear them very often.

My go to makeup look is a very subtle smokey eye and glossy nude lip.

This jacket was a wardrobe upgrade, after a sticker left a mark on my old moto jacket and the clutch I got pre-loved.

We’re back!

Each month myself and  four other boss blogger babes will style the same piece of clothing and since we all look and think differently from each other (hair, religion, location, skin, size, height, style…all of the above), you’ll get five totally different looks. That means you’ll get to see what I style, on other body types so you can find something that is best for you!

This month we have another something from Agnes & Dora, so make sure you check out how Deidre, Kaylynn, Jacque, and Sarah styled this tunic too.

How adorbs is this Agnes & Dora Pocket To Me dolman top? It’s striped, which I love and has a super cute floral patterned pocket!

While there are tons of ways you can wear a dolman top, I’m rather partial to pairing this one with black skinny jeans or leggings.

Since the shirt has the stripes and floral thing going on, I kept my jewelry very minimal.

Just one piece.

A sentimental silver charm bracelet that both my younger sister and I got as Christmas presents from our older sister.

The younger one wanted matching tattoos, but I like matching bangles better…

As for shoes, I wanted to get as many wears out of these cutout booties as I can, before it starts to really snow.

And we’ll be back with another Styled by 5 next month, well sort of…

It’s been well over a month since my turquoise tips first graced Instagram with it’s presence, which means I am WAY past due for getting it done over. I really like this color and I’ve gotten SO many compliments, but I thinking about maybe switching it up. Maybe.
