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?
Yes for the sweater and jeans combo! It’s just so easy and comfortable. And topping it off with this statement coat makes it so polished! Hope you’re staying warm 🙂
I’m not even sure I know what my feet look like anymore. (; Kidding, but really, this cold weather is killing me. I too have been super boring and repetitive with my outfits and it is what it is right. I do love using a big blanket scarf to attempt to be fashionable. (;
This coat is fabulous on you, and the perfect way to add a little more fun into the daily winter wardrobe. And still loving those shoes <3 Green Fashionista
Ooh I’ll have to DVR Better KC Friday, how fun! I LOVE that coat and am a fan in general of coats that make a statement. I have a bright red coat but would love a patterned one as well. Fun!
Give me any coat and I’ll wear it. Sometimes my obsession with coats may be a bit too unhealthy but can you blame me when the temperatures are below freezing and we can only wear thick coats?? This one is awesome – I love the checkered print and it’s definitely not obnoxious. Just perfect. FashionEdible
Fantastic look girlie. That coat is killer! I’m not a fan of Express so imagine my surprise when I found out it was from them. I’m glad you’re rocking, extremely well might I add, before every girl goes and purchases it. You were the original!!!!!! Lol.
The collar on this coat is amazing!! I seriously love it and that it looks cozy too! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
It’s super cozy- perfect combo of fashion + function! 🙂
Great coat!

I don’t mind being obnoxious, haha- but I know a lot of women want to make a statement without going over the top. This coat definitely does that! 🙂
I live in jeans and a sweater throughout the winter as well. Love this coat, so much fun andit adds a great pop!

I’m soooo excited to wear the heels when it’s actually spring- right now I have to save ’em for non-snowy/non-zero-degree days! 😉
I absolutely love that coat – it looks so cozy and definitely makes a statement!
