My Favorite Transition Coat + Life Updates

Aldo ‘Juliusa’ Slingback Mule

This week has been a doozy, for many, different reasons.  Let’s just talk about the positives.  I LOVED London and cannot wait to go back.  It was everything and more, but I will share details in a post coming up!  We are getting so close to the Holidays and I am so not ready.  I am usually so good with getting my Christmas shopping done early, but this year, I am not quite motivated yet.  I will be doing some posts on gifts for friends, loved ones, and of course, your self, so maybe that will get me in the spirt.

As for my outfit share this week, it’s still a warm-ish look because the temperature here is pretty moderate.  Plus, I am not a stockings type of girl, unless it’s Christmas Mass.  This Zara ‘pointed jacket’ was such a great find.  I ordered it on a whim from the Zara website, and loved it the minute I put it on.  I would not necessarily call it a “jacket,” as I feel it is more of a thick cotton material that can be worn as a sweater or transitional outerwear.  When I say ‘transitional outerwear,’ I mean an item you can wear commuting to work, while sitting at work, and then out for dinner.  Ok, I totally made that term up and gave it my own definition.  The jacket also has black piping, which gives it a great contrast against the beige.

For my dress, this ASTR Mock Neck Body-con dress is such a cute classic cut and perfect for dinner and a night out.  I like pairing a sleeveless dress or top with the Zara jacket, as the jacket sleeves fit just right on my arms, so it’s nice to not scrunch up an extra set of sleeves.

The dress material easily wrinkles (you can see in my pictures), but it’s still cute.  I like the cut above the left knee, as it gives the dress something different.  You can easily change your shoes to dress it up or down.

For shoes, who doesn’t love a good mule?  These classic styles have been on trend and they are so comfortable!  Block heels are the best.  These Aldo ‘Juliusa’ Slingback Mules are a style-dupe for a pair of Steve Madden mules I had my eye on.  Plus, I got these from Macy’s, so was able to use a coupon code!  The natural, taupe color is beautiful and goes with everything.

I have been having such a hard time staying awake lately.  Maybe it’s Daylight Savings Time, maybe it’s a lack of caffeine!  But regardless, I need more sleep!

Enjoy the long weekend and thank a Veteran for their service!
