Thanksgiving Day Leather
A thanksgiving dinner with friends and I wanted to wear something easy and cute. It also happened to be quite warm, so I was able to do some simple light layers. You may recall this dress from the summer, I just paired it with leggings, stompy boots and my favorite leather jacket.

The Jeffrey Campbell Chain ‘Gene’ Boots
So guys. I fell in love recently. With these boots. I’d been lusting after them for months and when I got an email from solestruck last week that they were available in my size, I dropped everything to purchase them immediately. I honestly cried when I put them on. They’re so beautiful.
This outfit is just something quick and nighttime casual…rest assured you’ll be seeing a lot of these boots.

The Oversized Winter Hooded Coat.
I waiver between wanting to wear skin-tight clothing and wanting to wear giant oversized drapey things. There’s something so fantastic about enveloping my body in warm things - especially in the winter.
When I saw this vintage camel coat at the thrift store a few weeks ago, I just knew I needed it in my wardrobe. It’s rich warm luxurious camel colored wool, lined with peach satin. I love that it can be more fitted using the drawstring toggles. I’m also a sucker for a giant hood. It’s just perfect.

I’m always on the quest for cute boots that fit my 18” calves. I stumbled across these today at DSW and scored them on clearance too!
Here’s the link to these boots online (they’re not on clearance online)
They are not real leather though, which is sorta a downer for me. I just wish there were more high quality boots in plus sizes that I could TRY ON. For those of you in the UK or who are willing to deal with shipping from the UK, Duo Boots are great quality, real leather boots in calf sizes up to around 22” (they sell by shoe size and calf size).
