I'm always harping on "buy basics" and "invest in classics" but this outfit is just proof of why I believe in it so adamantly. This coat and this bag are both quite old (more than 3 seasons I think!?!) but this outfit still looks super fresh and relevant. The classics have given my closet so much longevity. I love that I can wear pieces year after year and still love them. Now sometimes are those pieces investments? Yes. Absolutely. And only you can say what is the best way to spend your budget... but I know I usually get the best return on the items that I invest in.
I've worn
jeans and
this jacket in countless outfits - you can throw a sweatshirt, a t-shirt, a blouse underneath so easily for a simple fall look. Here I paired
a classic v-neck sweater and
ankle boots with this coat/
jeans combo for a perfect everyday mom look. Errands, carpool, more errands and work are all tackled in style AND comfort with only the basics!
Outfit Details:
Sweater (true to size, or less expensive option)
Jeans (I cut the hem myself - I'm 5'4 for reference)
