A Minor Coat Obsession

Wow, Taylor, that coat is really starting to look familiar. That might be because I own it in three colors right now. Yes, that’s right. Three. The same coat. Just different colors. Am I obsessed? Probably. But I already have plans to buy it in black IF Club Monaco ever decides to make a black one. I told my mom this and she rolled her eyes and told me that there’s going to come a time when I don’t even like the coat (AKA probably in a couple of months) and I will have four useless coats and a whole lot of wasted money. But on the bright side, at least I’m looking hella stylish in my coat(s) for the short term.

Now that I have this coat in baby pink (see here), camel (see here) and now light grey, it’s really got me to thinking which color is my favorite. Because apparently, there are no better things to think about. The pink is just so me whereas the camel is a very classic coat that goes with all my business outfits and the grey is a little more casual in my opinion. So I guess what I’m trying to say is that I love them all equally. My three children. Oh, and Oakley. The most important child.

So yes, as I was saying, the grey is definitely more casual and to show that, I wore it very casually today. I threw on a mustard yellow (duh) sweater underneath with my Citizens of Humanity Liya jeans. I have a bone to pick with these jeans. Why is it that straight leg jeans seems to be so damn unflattering on me? They just make my legs look so short and wide. Or, maybe my legs just really are short and wide. These are the thoughts that keep me awake at night. I’m kidding. There’s bigger problems in the world, folks.

To finish off the outfit, I’m wearing my cabbie/newsboy/train conductor hat because – yup, you guessed it – my hair was greasy and I didn’t have time to wash it. Ahh, what a wonderful thing hats are. For shoes, I have on my Kendall & Kylie shiny patent leather boots. I really love the look of these boots but they’re just so impractical in Edmonton winters. They’re so slippery because they have absolutely zero grip on the bottom. Why are so many pairs of shoes like that?! Do shoe designers not realize that we can’t all live in places with summer all year round? I’m starting a rebellion, y’all. We ain’t buying any more shoes until they start being equipped with better grip on the bottom. Seems like a reasonable reaction to this problem.
