Eye-4-Style

The color caught my eye as I breezed through the aisles at Chicago’s Michigan Avenue Bloomingdales.  I couldn’t pass up the color.  Wow! Women talk about how they buy too much black; they want to change but gravitate to black.  Here was my alternative.  Plus, this would be great with a black sweater underneath, or even black-belted!  The salesgirl said the coats came in a few days ago and she expected them to fly off the racks when the 15% off sale went into effect (with using your Bloomie’s card, through Sunday, October 18th).  She pre-sold the coat to me and I had it shipped as it would ring up on the sale date.

Why are we always looking at new coats?  Let’s face it gals, in the cold weather the coat is your outfit! This coat will be great with black (here we go again) and I’m wearing it with red leather woven gloves for the extra punch.  If I belt it, it will be black gloves.  I can see it with a black sweater and skirt, black boots and gloves, belted, heavy pearl necklace, red lipstick. Let me add, the coat is the perfect weight; warm enough to ward off a chill but light enough to be perfect for errands, shopping or over a suit.

I’m glad I found my new coat for the season!  Thank you Michael Kors!

Just love these shoes!  I wore them tonight with a cute cinched-waisted v-neck dress from Nordstrom.  I bought them to wear with leggings and a casual embroidered top I bought at Anthropologie at City Place (West Palm Beach).  More specifically, same leggings and a killer black sleeveless Free People dress with brown 1/2” straps and trim, 12” zipper in front.  A night out on the town!  Fun !!
