Coat: Zara men.  Try military coats from Asos, two toned from Ralph Lauren, Moschino or blow the budget: Burberry London (but it’s pretty similar).  Waistcoat: Flea market.  Neck jumper: Zara men. Leather skinnies: Isabel Marant x H&aM. Boots: Jeffrey Campbell.  Try their taupe suede ones or the original Ann Demeulemeesters! Clutch bag: Jerome Dreyfuss  

Clearly this is a continuation from yesterday’s post.  Somehow I think it’s cooler to tweak something that I already have versus buying it brand new.   The Jerome Dreyfuss shoulder bag already exists but one old strap made mine a two for one.

The military style coat was a find about three years ago in the Zara mens section (surprise surprise) and I feel that it could’ve easily been sold in the womens.  The multiple coin buttons going up both sleeves and in the back are a nod to military without feeling like a costume.

note. This outfit was worn a few days ago (thankfully with a car bound drive involved) before temps dropped into New York’s current 10 degrees (otherwise all ten toes would’ve snapped off).

    Happy New Year!! I love this outfit! I love and follow your blog so much that I remember when you first posted this coat. I love how you collect great classic pieces that work so well years later with the rest of your wardrobe, something I’ve learned from following you!! xx
