LoveBrownSugar Chic: Old & New

I gushed about my undying love for this Laundry by Shelli Segal coat back in January in my Airing the Laundry post. This time I decided to mix it up with an old top that I normally reserve for spring/summer months, and a few new accessories.

The green top adds a pop of color. It's hard sometimes to break out of the dark neutrals that this great city is known for.

I did a silver arm party this time around, including my favorite cuff and my old school nameplate bracelet. Flashback to my high school days...

I wore my Kelsi Dagger 'Acalia' wedges (purchase here) that I scored from a Rue La La sale last year.

And I topped off the look with my new favorite faux leather bag from Zara. I scored this at the Zara sale for only $20! *hits my dougie*

One of the few things I like about winter is the ability to wear a statement coat. Nothing like a luxe fur collar to make you feel chic.

Now bring on the spring weather! I can't wait to wear mini skirts and flirty tanks.

For the face, I'm sporting LiSi Cosmetics Prime Time All-in-One Face Primer, LiSi Cosmetics Flushed Pressed Powder blush in Aruba, Stila All Day Waterproof Eyeliner, and one of my favorite winter lip shades (blogged about them here) - Laura Mercier Creme Lip Color in Sienna.

LoveBrownSugar Chic: Airing The Laundry

So I finally have a real winter coat. Yes, it took me until Christmas to buy a winter coat that wasn't paper thin. Though I've had some good times with my Zara cape, it doesn't keep me warm at night. No, it literally doesn't keep me warm at night. So, I hightailed it to Burlington Coat Factory and picked up this Laundry by Shelli Segal beauty.

It's warm, it's a great neutral color that matches with everything, and it has a fur collar. Three must-haves that were on my check list. It also saves enough room for layering. Here I paired it with a polka dot top from H&M and my Suki Jeggings ($89.00) from Silver Jeans.

It's easy for your ensemble to look drab and boring when you're piling on neutral colors. I keep it fresh by adding pops of color in with my accessories.
