What I Wore: Tweed Coat + Sweater Dress




One of my favorite fashion pieces to thrift is outerwear. This is one item that you will truly get the best bang for your bucks, When selecting a winter coat, I always look for a style that is timeless and can last for a few seasons. Since a winter coat is the most important piece you wear over your clothing, I shop for coats that are trendy enough to make a fashion statement alone and a coat that I can wear with sweaters too. The details, fabric and length are other things I consider before making a purchase. So when I noticed this leather trim tweed winter coat by Cynthia Rowley, while thrifting at Intown Thrift Store, I knew that I hit the jackpot. This coat met all of my needs! It retails for $400, but the thrift store price was under $7. This tweed coat is my go-to winter coat when I leaving home to head to work. It is a perfect piece that I can wear during the daytime. Plus if I have to meet up with friends for an after-work happy hour date, I still look very stylish.

  5. Hey I have that same dress only the sleeves are short.... Love it, I think I may have to replicate your outfit tomorrow for work. Since it is short sleeves, I wear a sweater with it.

  10. I am IN LOVE with this coat. You look amazing in it. I have to ask, are the lace tights itchy? I remember wearing some as a kid that nearly drove me nuts. :)

  23. When I buy a winter coat I consider how warm it is going to keep me while being stylish at the same time. This year I went with a burgundy coat and the color looks great on me.
