Trench inspired by this Escada (via Nordstrom) version | Tights: Express (also swear by these from DKNY) | Shoes: Jimmy Choo (and LOVE this metallic version | Sunglasses: Celine | Handbag: Vintage Chanel | Lipstick: MAC Pink Nouveau
Hey guys!
Inspired by the navy trench-like coat from the Escada collection over at Nordstrom.com I reached for this similar piece from my closet. I paired it with two of my closest staples, black opaque tights and black suede pumps. I remember being about 13 years old or so, and thinking that pairing black and navy was a big fat no no. Now, it’s one of my favorite color combinations. A bit ironic! You can view the beautiful new Escada collection over at Nordstrom.com – such a mix of luxe classic pieces and then classics with a modern twist.

I also remember black and navy being a BIG no no! My mom used to say I looked like a bruise when I wore the colors together. Funny how things change:).

I wonder why we all shunned navy and black when we were younger. Is it an age thing or was that the style?! I love navy and black together now too. My mom makes fun of me for hounding her for wearing the combo back in the day and now it's my go to! Go figure.

I saw a coat very similar to this at H&M but it was $80. They had a sale online the following week and I was able to snatch it up for $20 with a couple of coupon codes. Its so versatile and I'm able to wear it everyday with all types of outfits.
