Statement boots, statement trench.
Ah yes, fall: aka the perfect time of year to wear those pieces that don’t quite work in extreme weather. Take this sleeveless trench, for example. Gorgeous olive green color, but the heavy wool fabric means it doesn’t play in the warmer months, while the sleeveless nature makes it tough to wear in the dead of winter. So this number was made for October and November! I layered it over the top of a long-sleeved lace-up bodysuit (a little sneak peek of sexy without going overboard) and high-waisted black jeans. Thigh high boots (mine are Stuart Weitzman and were a birthday present a few years back, but these are a killer dupe for way less) added some height and drama.
Shop the look:
I love how sexy this outfit was, despite the fact I was mostly covered up. I was also warm! Wool trench, long sleeves, tall boots– these elements combine for coziness, no additional jacket required. The bodysuit was such a great (and cheap!) score a few years ago, but this one is the perfect dupe.
Question: is anyone else tripping over the fact Thanksgiving is one week away? I’m reeling over here. I feel like 2018 has been both the longest and the shortest year. I have no idea what I’m bringing yet (my family always assigns me appetizers and such) or what I’m wearing. I need to check the forecast– KC Thanksgivings can either be totally gorgeous (think 60s and sunny) or cold and miserable (upper 30s and rainy). Some years, we’re all outside on the deck drinking mulled wine in the sunshine, or we’re huddled around the oven staying warm and shoveling piping hot yams into our mouths– you really never know with Kansas City.

I love that trench! That’s like the perfect fall piece and the rich olive colour is great. I’ve got a black sleeveless trench floating around in my closet somewhere that I really need to get out.

Ashley, I’m back!
And girl, the sex appeal is real! You’re making me want to bust out some bodysuits of my own. And I love the olive toned, thick sleeveless trench. And how cute is that name ring, too.

So glad to see you round these parts again, babe!
This olive sleeveless trench jacket is so stylish and a nice extra layer in the fall! I love layering pieces like this, because sometimes a coat just gets too hot on me when I’m running around. And, that lace up body suit is hot, hot, hot!!!

This piece is really more versatile than it seems because you can layer it/wear it alone. Definitely great for fall looks!
You look amazing! Love these colors 🙂

Thanks, lady! I can’t resist olive green lately. 🙂
Very pretty look!
Thank you!
I totally can’t believe that it’s almost Thanksgiving. Luckily, I don’t have to cook,so yeah! Love that sleeveless trench and it’s great with the over the knee boots.
I know- Thanksgiving totally snuck up on me! Fall is flying by!
I have a trench vest like this, and I’ve been known to layer it over a jacket for the colder months!!
XOXO

Thanks, Grace- isn’t this sleeveless number super fun?
A sleeveless trench?! Never heard of such a thing but it looks great. The entire ensemble looks great. Very fashionable. Weather here is equally unpredictable. NY got 6 inches of unexpected snow yesterday and it paralyzed the place.
Ahh- I heard about that crazy storm that hit NY! Hope you are staying warm and safe!
I absolutely love this olive color.

Olive green really is fabulous for fall, and it really works as a neutral too, so I’m happy to have plenty of it in my closet!

OMG ASHLEY!!! I adore this look on you! Slayin’ for sure sweet thang! And you’re right…there are so many things that can only technically be worn during certain times of year. Although, usually I get so sick of winter, I break them out toward the end of that too:)
