Vintage Dress Coats

By -
It happens every year. I get all gussied up in a sexy dress, killer heels and dramatic makeup for a dinner out and I top the look off with...my black wool overcoat? It's even worse at a slightly chilly event like a gallery show where I end up covered most of the time. Why poshify if no one sees it? Thankfully, I bought a great purple trench that will work on special occasions. If I hadn't come across it, I was fully planning on buying a vintage dress coat this fall.

I love the green coat! Such a fantastic color, and a great way to brighten up a world of dingy black, grey, and brown coats. (he he, brown coats!)

I desperately need a winter coat. I have a houndstooth one, but it is just too fancy for everyday activity!

What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore .

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
