Grey Fringe Coat

FRINGE COAT: Ralph Lauren  |  BOOTIES: Steve Madden  |  SWEATER: Trouve  |  JEANS: Paige  |  SUNGLASSES: Stella McCartney (similar here)  |  LIP: Nars (Bansar)

Nothing like a coat with a little extra “zip” (as my mother would say) to turn your basic black outfit into something not so basic.  In this case, the elusive “zip” comes in the form of front-framing fringe and the flowy draping of what’s been the perfect blanket coat in which to wrap myself as days become increasingly chilly here in San Francisco.

I threw on some brown leather booties to mirror the brown leather tab closure in the front, thereby appeasing my chronic compulsion for some element of matchy-matchiness, and further breaking up the black monochrome.  Two birds, one stone.

With the November chill finally here (and an impending trip home to Wisconsin for Thanksgiving… yesssss!!!), I’m in dire need of a winter coat refresh.  Below are the ones I’m currently eyeballing.  Any favorites?

Many of these coats come in multiple colors, so if you spot a style you like, clickety-click for more color options ; )
