Brrr…we got our first taste of cold weather this past weekend and it kindly reminded me that I need a real coat. As a Texas girl, it’s hard to picture weather much under 40 degrees. But every time that freeze does come around, I find myself frantically searching for layers.
This year, I’m determined to find just one really great-and particularly warm-coat. And as my search begins, I can’t help but be inspired by these street style looks below:
Thigh high socks. Lace up boots. A polka dot dress. Flower crown. Plus a red pea-coat? This look works head-to-toe.

A “boyfriend coat” looks great paired over skinny jeans and a light sweater.

Miroslava Duma needs no explanation, she’s just plain chic. Add a faux fur stole to my shopping list though:

A mix of boyish accessories and topped over skinny leather pants:

Jenna Lyons looks like she was made to wear a coat, and this nude number elongates her already lean silhouette.

Leather accents are a big trend this season, and we can’t help but notice that oxblood bag:

Does this scream “The Devil Wears Prada” or what?
