Closet Confection: Rule Breaker

Alyssi Tweed Coat + Tweed Banana Republic Dress
Evil Eye Necklace + Diamond Circle of Love Necklace
Alyssi Tweed Coat + Tweed Banana Republic DressWinter Textures
Alyssi Coat + Banana Republic Dress{Alyssi Coat (similar), Banana Republic Dress, Wolford Tights, Celine Handbag, Cole Haan ‘Calico’ Ankle Boots, Necklaces via TJ Maxx (similar here and here)}

For the most part, I’ve always abided by the rule that your coat should be longer than your dress.  But on this particular day, I just couldn’t resist pairing both of these nubby tweed textures together.  I mean really, can you blame me?  Fashion rules be darned – this coat and dress were just begging to be worn with one another.

    I am in LOVE with tweed! I think it’s such a fun texture to dress up in! I love everything about this look, as for the coat rule – rules are meant to be broken right? 😉

    Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting the other day. I’ll have a new post up tomorrow if you care to stop by again!
