When I tell you this is the only coat you need in your closet right now, believe me. I’m beyond obsessed. Emerald green is one of my favorite colors and we have my birthstone color “Emerald” to thank for that. I just love how it compliments my skin tone. Bright colored coats are really necessary in the Winter months especially for me as I do not live in the city -so everything is pretty much grey for me; which is why that bit of color always brings life to my outfits.
This coat is perfect. The fit is a bit oversized, it’s the perfect length and I’m loving the huge buttons as the finishing touch. Outerwear should be the most important piece in your closet during the Winter; as it’s the first thing people notice. I decided to go all black with this look as I didn’t want to take any attention away from the coat. I of course plan to wear it in so many ways, but felt it was only right I paired it with black for its big debut hahaha.
I loved the hints of gold throughout the outfit, it totally elevates the look by taking it up a notch. Always complete your outfits with accessories, either that be jewelry, and or headwraps like I did with this look. Headwrap is from, Wrapqueen.com
Let me know if you’re a fan of bright winter coats as well. If so what are your go-too colors. I’m on the hunt for an exact version like this but in fuschia pink.

Are you gushing over this coat as much as I am…I’m so so so in love. The color is perfect, so bright and vivid I mean you’d be able to spot me from a mile away honestly lol. I knew I wanted the outfit to be minimal so the coat can do all the work. I mentioned this in my last post as well; in the Winter all you need is an amazing statement coat and perfect accessories to go with it!
As I’m writing this I just realized that this could have been a look for NYFW. Oversized coats are a must during fashion week and oversized blazers are my favorite as well. I literally own every color blazer you can imagine, you can thank my many years in corporate for that. I plan on giving them their debut in the Spring and Summer months paired with short shorts. I’m seriously loving layered looks it just screams effort when in reality you barely tried hehe.
Is there anyone else obsessed with clear heels I can’t seem to get enough they compliment every outfit. I actually stop myself from wearing it as I own alot of shoes but for this look I couldn’t resist I plan on investing in a few more before these die on me…Are you guys loving clear heels as well? If so what brand are you obsessed with?
Can we talk about this headwrap? Yes! ok good:) Well first of all I love this freaking wrap omg, the colors are so bomb and it was the perfect match for my coat. I’m wearing “Glow up 2.0” from my brand WrapQueen.
Hmm what else has been going on in my world. I’m starting to feel a bit overwhelmed with life these days, especially with the news about Kobe Bryant, and I’m forcing myself to actually live, live each day being happy and grateful and being appreciative of the present. I’ve been loving on my kid a lot more too and trying my best to have him do all the things he loves at the moment which is Swimming. Yeap! I’m a swim mom lol. I never knew how to swim growing up, and seeing my son be a beast in the water, I’m beyond proud. I wake up each day listing 5 things I’m grateful for. And one of them is being able to work for myself which allows me to be with my husband and kid, seriously how lucky am I?
Wishing you all a productive week love u all so much!!
