Coatigans for the Winter Weather

Hello, and thanks for stopping by my blog today!

The winter weather is still with us, brrrr- 

and I am still piling on the layers

Looking forward to the spring warm up

and counting down the weeks!

For really chilly days a coatigan,

or any long, thick, cozy sweater in your closet is a great choice!

I grabbed these two coatigans earlier in the autumn as outerwear,

 Now I'm wearing them indoors as part of an outfit

My first look this week is a brick red open coatigan in a chunky ribbed knit

This sweater came with a faux leather cord waist tie belt

 that didn't seem to compliment it at all, so I don't wear them together

Today, I am layering a lightweight ivory cashmere V neck sweater underneath

All of these pieces have been in my wardrobe for several years,  

but I just realized that this jersey midi skirt is a perfect match

with the coatigan-it almost looks like a set

I love to stumble across combinations of pieces like this in my closet

that I had not put together before   

    

Accessorizing with this very special brightly colored vintage astrological motif scarf

Carrying a camel tan camera style handle bag

decorated with studs and a yellow Hibiscus flower

I chose a large gold tone oval link bracelet and

woven motif clip on hoop earrings for jewelry 

Tan leather stacked heel loafers to complete the outfit

For my next look I am wearing an ivory color coatigan

with a large tan and red plaid pattern

I wore this sweater/jacket back in January in a post featuring neutral colors

Worn this time layered over a red sleeveless sheath dress

that is a versatile workhorse in my wardrobe   

Accessorizing with a red neck scarf 🧣 tied in a bow

and carrying a vintage taupe leather trimmed Dooney & Bourke mini saddle bag

For jewelry, I added a hand carved wooden sailboat brooch,

a gold tone knot bracelet and teardrop stud earrings

Taupe suede cross strap block heel pumps to finish the outfit

Another warm and cozy coatigan from winter, 2019

Hope everyone enjoys their week!
