As usual, this fall I got a fun new coat to ease the transition into chilly temperatures. My cold-weather wardrobe needed more pastels in it for sure. I’m totally happy with this purchase, although I did learn one thing the hard way: this lovely minty number is more of an above freezing coat. Not that it’s completely ineffective, it’s just more of a structured thick sweater than a coat. This fact became very apparent when I wore this outfit in 14-degree wind chills. Like Alanis Morissette told us: you live, you lerrrrn.

Generally, I like every outfit I wear. Otherwise why would I wear it, right? But there are some I like more than others, and some I even love. This was a love outfit. It had the perfect mix of some of my favorite styles. A little edgy (the leather skirt), a little preppy (the gingham shirt), some color, some neutrals, fun accessories, and it was comfy to boot.

I wore this last Monday, and Monday may just be the perfect day for a love outfit. Yes, I just used “love” and “Monday” in the same sentence. Crazier things have happened. So what you are going to wear to make this Monday lovely?
