I love that you can creatively express yourself through your fashion choices, as you all know I love taking risks and loved the idea of wearing a coat as a dress with the help of a belt and "strategically" placing the coat so it is a asymmetric fit.  I forgot about the frigid temps for 1.2 seconds because I had to wear this.

Need tips on how to pair items together to create a bold look? My 5 week online course will be covering this, more details here.

And apologies for the fuzzy photos, my camera lens decided it wanted to be on manual focus instead of auto without my consent, how nice :)

Happy Monday loves! Make it a productive week!

  7. Hi, Ashleigh, you have killer legs, that's for sure, and you know how to work the color palettes! The only my concern regarding this look, is it looks as if something is missing, and by something I mean the bottom part, this is how I felt as soon as I saw your post, don't mean to offend your feelings, the coatigan is gorgeous!

  8. I absolutely love the look! The colors compliment each other well and not one thing over powers the other. I love the simplicity of it as well. Perfect for the spring! Although, I may have went with a different color lip, perhaps a coral, or an orange, a gloss would be perfect as well just to make it more of a spring look. I am crazy for a dark lip but I also feel that it more of an evening lip color/ fall-winter lip color.

    1. Wasn't going for a spring look and a bright color lip would clash with the bright bag but thanks! :) @diamond

  10. I love it! I think the magic is really in how you made it fall perfectly asymmetrical. I use http://whatgoeswiththis.co/ to get outfit ideas and it's super helpful. I'm going to share your 'coat as a dress' advice on there!
