It’s officially the bleakest part of winter over in my neck of the woods, and you can stick a fork in me because I’m done with it.  To help shake off the winter blues,  decided to add some punchy colors into the mix instead of the blacks and grays that I’ve been favoring as of late.

This pink coat that I snatched up on super sale at J. Crew has to be my favorite purchase of the season.  It instantly jazzes up a look without much effort.  And effort is generally something I don’t have much of to spare as I’m dashing off to work in the morning!

What go-to pieces do you rely on this winter to help spice up your look?

Closet Confection: It’s Electric {Blue}

One of my favorite stores, Rugby by Ralph Lauren, is soon shuttering its doors.  I’ve rather grown to love their cable-knits and shetland sweaters over the years, so I made a mad dash to stock up on a few knits at their Union Square location over the weekend.  If you’re also looking for some great deals, I suggest you click on over to their website ASAP to snatch up a few goodies (everything is currently marked down at least 40%).

Above is the outfit I wore for Christmas Eve dinner at The Russian Tea Room.  I know, I know… red and green are the traditional Christmas colors, but I received this coat in the mail earlier in that day and was too impatient to wait until Christmas like a good girl couldn’t wait to take it out for a spin.

In other news, I can’t believe this will be my last blog post  for 2012!  I have zero plans this evening other than an early dinner and watching old Dynasty reruns.   Until we meet again, have a safe and happy New Year!
