I was wearing…
J. Crew Lady Day coat in Lilac | Brooks Brother’s shirt | Vince leggings | Gigi New York clutch c/o | Shoemint booties c/o (similar here) | Tory Burch elephant ring | Ray-Ban aviators | NARS lipstick in Michiyo
The only upside of the dropping temperatures is that I now have a reason to wear my J. Crew Lady Day coat. Guys this coat has been on my wishlist for TWO YEARS. It comes in so many colors, but I knew I had to have the lilac. The reason I didn’t buy it sooner is it’s a little pricey. $432 is a lot of money for anyone, and with my entry level PR salary I sadly couldn’t bring myself to add it to my JCrew.com cart. But with age, financial responsibility (see my tips for saving here) and a 20% off coupon, I’m happy to report this year I could finally afford my dream coat 🙂
Warning… you’re probably going to see me wearing it a lot during the next few months!
