I know what you New Yorkers are thinking...where's the snow?! Yes, I took these photos before the polar vortex hit. But I wanted to share this chic black and white combo with you that is really fun for winter. As mentioned in previous posts, I like pairing my faux leather pants with an oversized chunky knit. By the way, I think this might be the coziest sweater I've ever owned. It seriously feels like I'm wearing a blanket. I threw on these fabulous Marsala (Pantone's Color of the Year) statement heels to complete the outfit. Note that my lipstick, handbag, necklace, and nails all match my shoes! This coat is 2 years old (I got it on sale at J.Crew) and I know I'll wear it for years to come. The key is to always buy a quality winter coat (no more cheap jackets ladies!) in a classic, fitted style. As much as I love colorful coats, you really can't go wrong with black. It just goes with everything! And don't be afraid if it's a size smaller than you normally wear. As long as you can button it, I promise it's more flattering as a snugger fit (especially in the arms).
Beauty tip: When you're doing a black and white style, I personally feel that it always looks best to do a bold lip. This way you don't look washed out. :)
