White Coat On

Outfits: Zara Studio Coat, Asos Ridley Jeans, Jonak Boots, Zara Scarf

One of my favorite period of the year to play around with Fashion and layers is fall / winter. It’s definitely the moment of the year where you can pull out your best trick and show how you can handle the freezing cold and stay stylish. There are so many options when it comes to coats. Indeed, it’s less about the outfit you’re wearing underneath (at least, if you want to freeze like an ice cube, you’re my guest), but about the outerwear. Coats are always the highlight of the season, except for high-knee boots.

Since I know I have a tendency to freeze as I step a foot outside, I tend to gravitate around wool coats with a high neck if possible. 

However, you might not want to look like you’re all bundled in layers, so the cut of your coat is extremely important. It’s definitely a plus to slim down your silhouette and lengthen it – especially if you’re not 6 foots tall. This ZaraStudio coat is perfect.

The golden details such as the zipper and the buttons gave to this coat another dimension, and it makes it chic and, at the same time, wearable at any period of the year. Sure, it’s a coat for winter whites, but even tho, it doesn’t snow in Paris yet, I feel the urge to wear it every time I step out of the house. Something tells me I’m going to wear it more than my navy one.

The idea of a white coat might sound ridiculous, but I’ve had a red one and a charcoal one before, and it’s definitely my favorite color.

It’s actually the perfect outerwear to throw on; ever way you’re going for a stroll or to a cocktail, since the cut of this coat makes every outfit classier and chicer.

It’s the perfect versatile piece that can allow you to transition from day to night, or to work outfit to a fun one. It’s definitely a cool statement piece and I think I might wear it more often than I expected. It just felt right to throw it on.

That might be my last outfit post for 2014, so I want to wish you all a very MERRY CHRISTMAS! Hope you're having some lovely days with your loved ones.

Outtakes

Wearing: HM chambray shirt, Asos Jeans

Sure, if you're reading my blog on a day-to-day schedule, you may have seen a photo looking like the one above. Today's article is about the pieces I don't worry about wearing a multiple of times. Some people love buying pieces of clothes matching the recent trends - don't mention the Barbie trend which is going to appear thanks to Jeremy Scott - but, in my opinion, the classics being the classics, I love wearing a button down oversized chambray shirt.

Every time I wear it, I feel like I don't have to think another seconds to what I wear. So, okay, it's actually 37F out there, and I'm more comfortable under a big fluffy blanket than outside, but being productive and active is all about dressing up in the morning (plus a giant cup of coffee, because who's kidding about this?)

Reading, following, being inspired and having a fashion blog doesn't make it easier - you always want to improve your content, because you know that there are so much girls (and boys) out there trying to upgrade their own brand, that you want to improve yours and be the best version of what you're selling. Plus, downside, there's a rumor about how you have to always buy new clothes to make it hold all together. I don't think that's the point of having a fashion blog - sure I am a little fashion blogger, but I have my own opinion about this - but, it's more about demonstrating that you can create something by yourself, which includes, yes, talking about what you love, Fashion with a big F.

So let's face it, people might judge what you think, or what you defend upon here, but who cares? I understood that being realistic about your wardrobe, and what you love wearing is kind of the point. It's tough reinventing your wardrobe every day, and no I don't say this like it's nothing, I know a lot about this - I'm only a student, in the end.

I guess, I'm defending the wear of the chambray button down shirt with passion, and it's not because I am not creative - because I do believe in creativity when it comes to your wardrobe - and actually, it can surely happen by adding something more, like a belt to tie up your coat, and like above, making a knot to your shirt to make it edgier/sexier.

Finally, it's all about reusing, recycling, reinventing yourself and interpreting the classics and the trends to make it corresponds to your own personality.

For once, I've posted a goofy picture of myself, because who cares about being distant? Real me is the girl above - always finding a way to laugh out loud and embrace tiny moments with my closed relatives.

Sometimes, a all black outfit makes the trick. Even more when it's a kimono wrap dress that you pair with some strappy heels from Saint Laurent.
