The one where I look like a high-fashion Big Bird.
A little fashion drama never hurt anyone, right? (Sprained ankles from too-high heels notwithstanding.) The next few months in KC are going to rinse + repeat when it comes to boots and coats, so I wanted to shake up my look with some statement pieces. To the rescue: navy faux fur coat and a pair of burgundy velvet thigh high boots. The look is luxe, but the price tag is not; both of these items are from H&M and Public Desire (respectively). This means you look killer and you save some coin.
Shop the look:
Don’t think you can’t dress this navy faux fur coat down– you absolutely can. Swap out the mega boots for a pair of slipper flats (or ballet flats, or brogues) and the lace top for an easy + breezy knit or a fave t-shirt. Mixing casual with dressier pieces is a fun way to mix up that wardrobe. Fur doesn’t always have to be super fancy, and this faux fur jacket is a great item to add to your winter mix.
Notice some newness around here in terms of look + feel? That’s right; LSR got a refresh over the weekend. New year, new look. I’m still tweaking a few bits, so bear with me as I work through these.
Yessss, some newness for the new year! Thanks, lady!
Yes Yes Yes I love a thigh high boot, it’s so sexy and chic. My new boyfriend requested I wear my favorite pair on New Year’s Eve. A man after my heart 🙂 I just purchased some booties in this rich burgundy color, they add the perfect pop of color to my winter wardrobe. Those boots are ultra sexy and sassy
Loving the gorgeous navy blue and burgundy together, looking chic and sexy girl!! Congrats on the new blog design it looks amazing! I’ll be MIA from blogging for a bit but see you when I get back:)

Ashley,
Your jacket is so pretty! I really want one too… maybe a white one? I feel like I don’t know if I can pull it off, but your outfit is so fun with the contrasting boots.
I love the navy fur jacket, is there anything better for the winter months? And the new blog look is great, clean and simple! http://www.iamchiconthecheap.com
YES babe!! Those velvet boots are to die for!! Love that color on you 🙂 Faux fur coats and knee high boots are two of my favorite items to wear during winter! <3
The subtitle made me giggle, but you really are the furthest from looking like big bird. I love how you mixed the two different textures of suede and fur. I can see endless ways of styling those boots! What a great find. Xo,
Ellese
