One of the pieces I rediscovered during my recent closet clean out was this navy trench coat (last worn here). I get so bored with my outerwear this time of year so I try to rotate which coat I’m wearing at least a couple times a week. My warmest options are this cocoon coat and my puffer coat but I made this lightweight trench appropriate for temperatures in the high 30s with a warm sweater underneath and my favorite plaid scarf. I also swapped out my usual dark denim for white skinny jeans and suddenly felt like I had a totally different winter look. I’ll definitely be trying the same with my other outerwear options (this and this).
Goodnight Macaroon pearl studs c/o // Kate Spade navy trench coat (similar) // Lands End plaid scarf // Signet ring // Clare Vivier flat clutch // Lilly Pulitzer white jeans // J.Crew Rory ankle boots (similar)
I kept the accessories to my everyday basics: a signet ring that was a gift from my cousin Emily, a favorite clutch that goes with everything in my wardrobe, and ankle boots that share a name with my puppy Rory. Do you have a favorite navy trench coat (or one in a different color)? Would you wear white jeans in winter?

Fabulous outfit! The navy trench coat goes well with your white pants and brown boots. A fashion wit person really has the eyes for a good look
I am OBSESSED with those boots!! Crying over the fact that they are sold out at J.Crew, but I’ll keep my eyes peeled for something similar. Thanks for the inspiration, as always 🙂

Love this trench! My only trench coat is navy as well, and I absolutely love it. My puffer is also navy. I guess navy is my favorite for outerwear! I love how cleaning out your closet and not shopping forces you to wear what you own, even things you’ve forgotten about or always pass over. It makes you appreciate your things that much more.
I just bought a red trench coat and can’t wait to try it out. Perhaps I can use your idea and wear it in the cold with layers instead of waiting for warmer temperatures!

i love your trench paired with the white jeans! Such a fresh look. And the clutch is fantastic. Love the entire outfit! Happy weekend!.,
As warm and cozy as my puffer coat is, I’m tired of it! So pumped to go back to trenches and cropped jackets!
