Lookbook: Feather Jacket

Seattle is usually gray, gray and more gray but then we will get the random day that is so super sunny and bright.  We had just gotten our new feather coats in that day (it’s always an exciting day when we get our latest designs in!) so my assistant and I went out to take advantage of the beautiful day and I ended up just loving the light of these photos.

 
Oh yes we got it in pink too!  I couldn’t decide which one I liked better so I brought both along but I think I like the gray.  What do you think?

What I’m Wearing
Dress: SAMMYDRESS (it costs $8!!)
Boots: STEVE MADDEN
Coat: T+J DESIGNS OSTRICH FEATHER COAT (Pink version HERE)
Sunglasses: AMAZON 
Bag: CHANEL (Mine is the Jumbo size)
Earrings: T+J DESIGNS

I spent most of the weekend at home taking care of a sick toddler and a husband who was just getting over a cold.  Last week everyone at the office was sick.  I somehow have manged to dodge the illness going around and hopefully I’m not jinxing myself by saying that, I really hope I don’t get sick next!

If you are wondering about this $8 dress, yes it’s totally worth it!  I got a lot of compliments on it when I wore it that day.  The material is a bit thin but with the jacket it worked fine even in this weather.  Seattle is cold but not that cold and I spend most of my time indoors so even though it might not seem like a winter-y dress, it totally still worked fine for me.  It’s just a cute basic dress but I love the lace up detail on the front.  And these boots – man they were a good buy this winter, I wear them all the time.  I recently just cleaned them with a suede cleaner/suede brush and they look great even after all the rain/puddles I’ve walked through in them.

Lookbook: Sequin Star Skirt

Oh yes, another sequin skirt.  But I just love them!  I mean, this sequin star skirt is just the cutest, I want to wear it all the time!  I decided to try to make it a “work appropriate” look since most of the time I save my sequin skirts for night.  I have an unconventional work environment so of course sequins may not be appropriate for all work places but it works for mine, especially since the skirt is our design 🙂 

 
What I’m Wearing:
ASOS  Sweater (old) – see below for similar sweater options!
 
I love graphic tees and sweaters and this cozy little sweater is a fave.  I don’t usually stay with a black and white palette.  I love my bright colors!  But with the sequins I didn’t want it to be too much. I either work from home or my office (which is about a 45 min drive from my house) depending on what I need to get done.  I needed a change of scenery that day so my assistant and I headed to one of my favorite coffee shops to work and grabbed some photos while we were there.  It’s nice to have a change of scenery once in awhile, I felt like it inspired me and was able to come up with some new ideas!
 
On another note, watch out when working around coffee, jewelry and laptops, I totally spilled my latte all over my laptop!  I had just picked it up from the barista and didn’t have the lid on just yet which of course means spills the entire thing all over the place.  Luckily I had my laptop cover on so my actual laptop itself was spared from getting coffee on it, thank goodness!
