Gray Skies & Sunny Scarves



It was such a cold and gloomy day yesterday. The skies were gray and cloudy, and the sun was nowhere to be seen during the day - it didn’t even come out once. And, to top it off, there was a little rain.
I decided to opt for a cotton peacoat and a pair of black jeans, and added the sunny yellow scarf as a nice color pop.


The peacoat and scarf are two of my birthday buys - I mentioned the scarf in my Birthday Post.
My favorite part about the peacoat are the shiny gold buttons, especially on the cuffs.




I am so glad that the days are finally getting colder, though - fall is my favorite season of the year, because of the weather and the clothes. Sweater dresses, tights, boots, slouchy turtlenecks, cashmere, and peacoats? I’m all for it.

Peacoat: Aqua, Scarf: American Eagle, Jeans: True Religion

The sky blue walls also makes your outfit even more cheerful.

I really like your peacoat. I would probably get it in another color though, cause I'm accident prone and it will definitely show up on that crisp white.

I love peacoats! I especially like how you mixed the yellow with the with. It makes the look very lively. It's so nice to get to wear jackets, it seems like there isn't ever enough opportunities in So. Cal.

PS...love you blog and added you to my blogroll =)

That is an adorable peacoat. I can't wear white because I always end up getting the garment dirty :(

good call with the eye catching yellow. I have this habit of wearing blacks or greys with that one color piece to pull it all together.
