Dare to Wear: Plaid Outerwear

Personally, I'm not the biggest fan of toggle coats. On the other hand I do love plaid, so I may give this trend a try (I'm still undecided) but what about you? A quick disclaimer, first of all, while I do love Gwen Stefani's look, I have never tried to emulate it. And these coats look is 100% Gwen. So, by all means, if you wish to illustrate this look, do so with this cute coat that is definately growing on me...

Balenciaga Blazers

Unfortunately, I am sad to report that I am dissapointed in the lack of trends this fall. Luckily there was one, in particular, that stood out to me and that is...Blazers. Numerous looks hit the Balenciaga runway recently with these structured toppers. They are suitable to pair with everything, from skinny jeans to wide-leg pants or LBD's to pencil skirts. As always, here are my picks...
