was growing rather tired of my winter coat collection lately and feeling desperate for a new piece of outerwear. being on a budget really limits one's options then for something shiny and new. in search of alternatives, i came up with an interesting fashion equation: jacket + jacket = coat. now, i do realize that i am on the west coast and temperatures are far milder than most, but i did wear this earlier in the week when we were below zero as well (with boots, gloves, and ear muffs). that's the beauty of layering, that you can just keep adding until you can't really move!

Great idea - and you know what, it kinda looks like a single jacket anyway! Very nice outfit, I also like the pointy bow flats and bright red scarf.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a good weekend so far! See you on Monday :-)

Oh Alicia, you crack me up. Fashion math is the best - I'm going to have to try this jacket + jacket coat equation because I am getting really tired of my toation of winter coats and spring is nowhere in sight at this point.
ReplyDeleteLove the colour of your scarf. So gorgeous on you!
xox,

This look is incredible. You are so inventive! I adore the "under" coat ^^ x
ReplyDeleteI sometimes do the same thing with jackets. It's like having a new coat for your wardrobe! Also love that scarf. THe pattern and the color are great!
ReplyDeleteI love the bright scarf! I have one that color as well and I love how it brightens up an outfit!

ReplyDeleteit totally works! and i agree with you completely, I am so sick of my winter coat at the moment.. i keep layering on different pieces in order to keep warm just so that I don't have to wear it! :)
