If you didn’t already know, I am a huge fan of fashion styles that women wore back in the day, dating up until now. Primarily focusing on the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s. I grew love for these fashion years because the style was, although very conservative, very feminine. It embraced any woman’s attributes with such class and elegance that until this day, I simply ADORE! Which in turn, inspires this Sunday’s mass outfit of the day.
The last time I wore this dress coat was exactly a year ago. In fact, I wore it exactly like this. Except I had a bun and no bracelets. However, I wasn’t really into blogging and photographing my outfits in detail at the time so, VOILA! I will so so now. Besides, I LOOOOOOVE this sleeveless dress coat. I’ve been looking forward to more chilly weather to wear it out and I finally can. Anyway, when I use to work at a retail clothing store in Downtown L.A., I remember when my coworkers told me that they had just received a coat that was calling out my name. The minute I saw it and tried it on, there was no question…I HAD to have it!
This woven dress coat is a must-have layering piece that will take you all through fall days and winter nights. Although it’s sleeveless, you’d be surprised how warm your body feels while wearing it. Of course, I recommend wearing it more during the day when the sun is out…BUT if worn at night, definitely a thicker long sleeve sweater is a great solution. Don’t worry, I will definitely do a different look wearing this during the Winter.
I love this coat for four reasons:
- Statement Piece: It’s an AMAZING statement layering piece. You almost never come across coats like this one. [Then again I’m from Los Angeles and we almost never have a chance to wear thick coats.] Point is, the coat is enough to make a fashion mark.
- The Leather Accent: The leather adds such elegant edge and it compliments the woven fabric nicely. It really helps bring out a modern, upper-class look.
- The Classic Fit: The fit is tailored and sophisticated. The leather belt adjusts to flatter a woman’s body nicely without loosing femininity. Very Jackie Kennedy in my opinion.
- The Military: Last but not least, I fell in love with the military inspired look this coat resembles. Although it looks military, it kept it’s lady-like figure with the flared bottom and knitted material.
To end the post, I clearly wanted the coat to be the main focus, which is why I wore black pants and a turtle neck top from Forever 21. I threw on my favorite lace up booties to keep that military look going on and simply added a few gold bracelets to finish off the look. I must say, this outfit reminds me so much of one of my favorite movies growing up, The Little Princess, played by Shirley Temple.
Hope you’ve enjoyed my post today! I apologize if the pictures are very similar but I just wanted to give you as much as I could so you could see the detailing. Hope you ladies don’t mind :) Have a BLESSED day lovies!!! <333 Xo-M
