On repeat until March: sweater and jeans. One way to freshen up the look? A statement coat. This bold checked version is loud without being obnoxious, and the neutral palette means it works with everything. I threw it on over a pair of classic skinnies, a lightweight gray crew neck sweater, and a pair of lace-up sandals I can wear now (on warmer winter days) and then all the time come spring.
Shop the look:
For my Kansas City pals, you can tune in to the Better KC morning program this Friday starting at 9 a.m.; I’ll be on talking boots, boots, boots.
In the meantime, this statement coat is keeping me warm– KC is straight up frigid this week, and after a long weekend a few weeks back in Florida, I’m still acclimating. How long until spring, again?

Love the jacket and especially the high heel lace up sandals. I wish I could bare my feet now but there is snow on the ground in New York City. I am someone who will wear sexy sandals if its 40F out. I see that you are much of the same way.
Great look and coat babe! Love this style!

LOVE this coat! It looks so soft and the plaid is amazing. Whenever I buy a coat I try to make sure it either is a bold color or has a fun pattern.
You are giving this coat life, also, I love the way you styled it too.

How are you rocking bare feet at the same time as that snow?
I think I mentioned it before too but that coat is beautiful. I love the options you linked to as well. I want a black+white plaid coat.
Are you only blogging on Tuesdays now Ashley?
Hi Ada, just blogging Tuesdays for now- once the weather cooperates more here in KC (so cold + icy/snowy!), I’ll be back to posting 2x a week. 🙂
You look so cute! I love that coat!
