A Statement Red Coat

Happy New Year! I hope you all had an amazing NYE weekend and ready to start this New Year with goals and aspirations. Although this look was shot a couple weeks ago (in 2016) this is my first

style post of 2017. One goal I set for myself style wise was to be more daring with my wardrobe this year. I want to try new styles but still staying true to myself of course. So, "that color" or "that style" that I never thought to try because I didn't think it would work for me I'm going to try it this year. Fashion is all about taking risk and that's something I want to do this year.

Coat: Charlotte Russe | Blouse: Target | Top: Boutique | Boots & Purse: Forever21 | Sunglasses: Sunglassspot

This red statement coat is an oldie in my wardrobe but it's one of my favorites because it's different. The color and the structure are bold! It has such a large collar and a fit & flare cut on the bottom. I paired it with black and white underneath and it made the coat pop even more. That's exactly what I was going for. I layered a crisp white collard shirt over a sleeveless houndstooth print top. The prints paired well together with the bold red. 

Investing in a statement coat for the winter is a must have. It elevates your look when you are forced to wear layers on layers from the cold weather. Weather it's a statement color, print or style it's a must have for your wardrobe. I've been fortunate enough that the winter weather in D.C. hasn't been horrible. So fingers crossed to avoiding a brutal winter. 

What are your thoughts on owning a statement coat?
