I recently posted this look to my instagram and had so many fun comments from everyone about it that I had to write a blog post. I had mentioned in my caption that my husband calls this my “muppet coat” because I think it’s hilarious and kind of true but I really really love my pink furry coat.  It’s so cozy and comfy and just what I need on a cold winter day.

I have to admit, when I ordered the coat, I thought it was going to be slightly crazy and too much for my taste but I just felt like I needed a change from my usual wool coats.  When I got it though, I just fell in love and now I can’t stop thinking of other furry coats!

Here’s my picks and all of them cost less than $40!  I’m thinking about the vest just to mix things up but I also really like the shorter style.  And the white one is so pretty too! 

I’ve been on a pants kick lately.  I used to prefer to be in jeans but I’ve found that I rarely reach for them these days and when I do, it’s usually colored denim.

J Crew makes my favorite pants, the Cafe Capri and it comes in a ton of colors.  I love that they work well for any occasion.  I can wear them to a business meeting…

Or to dinner with friends…

I also just came across these tuxedo jeggings from American Eagle and I’m loving the casual but fancy twist with the tuxedo stripe.  Dress them down for a daytime casual but chic look.

or easily dress them up with a blazer for a fab nightime look.

I love blazers and probably have way too many in my closet but during fall and winter, I wear them all the time so I definitely get my use out of all of mine!  I’ve been gravitating towards printed blazers lately and with yesterday’s post with the floral blazer, it got me thinking about my favorite striped blazers and how I need to re-work them into my wardrobe as I kind of forgot about them.

This favorite of mine was a gift from my mother in law last year.  I wore this early in the summer with a blouse from H&M.  I find that print on print is much easier to do with a blazer rather than trying to mix a print with a top and pants.  Just keep it in the same color scheme and you should be good.

Here’s another look that I wore last fall (see the lookbook here) and I think I will be pairing this blazer with another pair of colorful jeans again.

My favorite ever has to be this one from Anthropologie.  I remember I had first seen it on Chloe and I ordered it online right away.  I just love the detail of the stripes going a different direction on the lapel.  This was is a bit more dressy so I always feel I have to get more formal with it but I’m going to try to work it to a more casual look.  Now that I don’t go into an office, casual is more my thing and I’m certainly not going to be putting on tights to sit in my home office!

Looking for a striped blazer for your own wardrobe?  Here’s a few that I love!
