It probably doesn’t come as a surprise to anyone, but I love fall fashion. I am truly an autumn girly and will probably stay that way until the day I die. The amount of serotonin I get from the trees changing colour and throwing on a comfy cable knit sweater while drinking a pumpkin spice latte is immense. It would just be nice if fall actually lasted more than a couple of weeks here in Edmonton. As I’m writing this, it’s currently a blizzard outside (because it’s January and I’m finally getting around to writing this blog post).
So, my outfit today. It’s one of my go-to outfits. Have I talked about my love of Old Navy on ze blog yet? Well, if I haven’t, you better listen up. Old Navy has been on the top of their game lately. Some of their pieces are utter junk cheaper in quality, but others are truly a steal for the price! And this cardigan I’m wearing today is one of the good ones. This is the SoSoft Cable Crop Cardigan and it’s made out of 55% cotton, 23% recycled polyester, and 22% polyester AKA it’s pretty much half polyester. But, although it’s not 100% cotton, it’s held up fairly well and it’s super comfy and great for layering!
The rest of my base outfit is pretty standard for me. I’m wearing some dark grey straight-leg Citizens of Humanity jeans with my favorite Nike Dunks in the colour Cacao Wow. I had been wanting a pair of chocolate brown sneakers for forever so I was super excited to get my hands on these ones. I feel like Nike Dunks are definitely on the less trendy side now, but these are definitely one pair I won’t be parting ways with anytime soon. And to match, I am carrying a chocolate brown crescent-shaped bag from Oak and Fort. I just really love chocolate brown.
But, the real star of the show is my coat from Aritzia. This is the Babaton Slouch Coat (I’m wearing size XS for reference) and it’s such a good coat. It’s easily one of my top 3 favorite coats and that’s really saying something because I have A LOT of coats. For starters. it’s incredibly warm. It’s rated for weather as cold as -20°C / -4°F because of it’s faux suede interlining to provide warmth while still being lightweight. In addition to the lining, the exterior is 90% wool and 10% cashmere making it fully worth the price. And the plaid print with the pops of burgundy and yep, you guessed it, chocolate brown makes it so easy to pair with different outfits. What can I say, it’s truly perfection.
