My coat collection has a lot of pieces that are more on the trendier side. The aviator style jacket has been my favorite trend for the past year and I invested in two coats with this style. Recently, I have been on the hunt for a simple classic black coat to complete my collection. I found this one at H&M a few weeks ago, and it is perfect for this bipolar weather the Midwest has been experiencing. It is warm enough for when the weather gets really cold, but light enough to wear when there is a slight chill in the air. I love the style of this coat because even though it is a basic piece, it still has subtle details that make it unique. The diagonal zipper and the lapels with the metal notches, gives an edgier vibe.  Last weekend, I decided to go home to take a mental break and do some shopping. Look out for another post next week to see what I bought!

On this day, the weather was really cold and breezy, so I decided to wear this coat with a thick scarf from the Loft. For the rest of my outfit, I just wore a plain black sweater and jeans from Topshop. These Topshop jeans are also a new purchase. I've heard great reviews on these jeans, but I was always hesitant to make the purchase because they are on the pricer side. I have always spent a decent amount on jeans in the past because they are a staple item in your wardrobe, but never this much. Over the Christmas season, I decided to pick up a pair and I don't regret it. I like when my jeans are super tight, but I have always struggled with different brands losing their fit after I wear them a couple of times. The Topshop jeans don't have this issue. I can get multiple wears out of them and I don't have to put them in the dryer to help get that tighter fit back. They are also high-waisted, which I think is really flattering and helps make my legs look longer. For shoes, I wore my favorite Zara boots that I got for Christmas. Sock boots have been a huge trend this year and you can easily dress them up or down. Besides pairing them with normal skinny jeans, I like wearing them with cropped jeans too. My favorite is pairing them with my American Eagle two-toned vintage jeans that I talked about in my last fashion post. This look has become my favorite trend this month, and if you have a little bit of your ankle still showing, fishnet tights look so cool underneath.
