Happy Hump Day all!
Okay so is it safe to say Fall is over? We went from basking in the warm Fall sun to 30-40 degree temps! I ignored the forecast and still continued to wear my trench coat even though it wasn’t keeping me warm. Finally after freezing on the train platform last week, I ended my standoff. My initial thought was to buy a new coat but then I started thinking of ways to update my old coat. Adding a brooch instantly came to mind. Brooches are great way to liven up an old coat. Colorful and sparkly ones will definitely make your coat stand out. Try putting together different brooch shapes and sizes. And don’t be afraid to add more than one brooch either. As they say “the more the merrier”!
Would you add a brooch to your coat?
Have a great evening!
Coat: Old Navy (bought it 3yrs ago)
Jeans: Evans
Turtleneck: Gap
Brooch: Forever 21
Boots: Joan & David
Yes, I would add one; if I needed a coat. Still hitting 80 in the daytime here, although we had a couple of cold mornings with lows around freezing. Now the lows are back around 50+. I do not miss the cold weather y’all get up there!

I would give my left arm for 80 degree temps right now! Im on my way NOW!!! LOL
It’s great for the winter, summer not so much!
thanks thanks thanks! You not only blog amazing plus size outfits but also show that you’re real, that you work, that you get cold, the whole package! What most frustrates me about other blogs is they show picture perfect spring-y/summery outfits in the middle of winter or outfits that can’t possibly be used by a working woman. I love your approach!

Thank you so much for this! I want people to see that Im just a regular person who works, gets cold, etc. I never want ppl who visit my blog to think that my style is unattainable or highbrow. So Im glad you enjoy my blog and hope you come back and comment often!
Love the color of the coat, I have a red wool coat.

I so want a red coat! Love vibrant colors during the gloomy winter!
Sometimes just a little accessory is all it takes!!

Absolutely! A little bit goes a long way!
I love the touch of glam your brooch gives your classic coat. Very nice. If I had that style coat, I would definitely add a brooch. The only thing I have that I would like to add a brooch to at the moment is an atypical black and white blazer. It was designed to hang open, but I think, on me at least, a brooch to pin it loosely together would be more flattering and add a little sparkle to an otherwise sort of boring top layer. I just have to find a brooch I like…

Oooh I like your idea of wearing the brooch w/a black & white blazer! Thanks for the suggestion! See I have the BEST readers!!!
i use my brooches in multiply ways…sometimes just as an accessory on clothing or hats but other times to help keep my girls at bay in v neck tops… 😉

Yes! Brooches have so many uses especially when it comes to the girls!!!
Lovely brooch. The vibrant color of your coat is a perfect pick me up for the upcoming winter weather. Did we even have fall?

We had a tiny bit of it and then the weather just changed! I was really looking forward to those 60-70 degree temps! 🙁
I love brooches! It looks lady-like and classic. Very pretty!
