Closet Confection: Brunch Date

Closet Confection outfit of the day

When: Saturday, April 10th

Where: To a health and wellness seminar, followed by brunch with my hubby at Landmarc in the Time Warner Center

What: Trench coat ($45 on sale at H&M), striped tunic ($15 H&M), black velvet leggings ($12 Romeo & Juliet Couture via HauteLook sample sale), boots ($20 thrifted at Beacon’s Closet), handbag ($99 Cole Haan via RueLaLa sample sale), earrings (Forever 21)

Don’t you just hate it when the weather is 80 degrees and sunny one day, but then the temperature plummets almost 30 degrees over the next two days?  I mean, come on!  Doesn’t mother nature know that I’ve packed away my winter sweaters at the first sight of magnolia blossoms, and now I’m ready for breezy dresses and cute sandals?

Alas, today I had to suck it up and placate myself by enjoying the chance to wear my favorite trench coat.  Although one of these days, I’m going to bite the bullet and treat myself to a nice Burberry rendition and be one of the cool kids you see on Art of Trench.  Until then, at least I’ll have my dreams (and a fly handbag I got on sale) to keep me warm.
