Ladylike

WEARING: Anne Taylor Ombré Plaid Coat, Blank NYC Ankle Skinnies, Sigerson Morrison Booties (old, similar concept here) Juliet and Company Versailles Necklace, Cuyana Leather Tote, Armani Gloves (similar here, also eyeing these), 

I'm currently writing this post while enjoying the exact opposite type of weather from when I wore this look last week. It's funny how much a difference a drive down the coast can make - and it's also one of the reasons why I love California so much! I've lived so many places in the last 8 years or so, but no matter what, I always seem to end up back in San Francisco. There's really nothing like it (although at the moment, Nikko and I are all caught up in fantasizing about the homestead life. It is eerily quiet out here, and I'm kind of loving it.) 

I love that the print of this coat is a more refined rendition of plaid than its summer counterpart. I've been flirting with ladylike accents - but always with a twist. Pearls with extra hardware, delicate earrings but lots of them, and a coat that could have been overtly feminine, but somehow finds itself with a masculine touch, tempered by leather pants, of course. Because they fix everything.
