Statement coats are a game changer in the winter. They’re the backbone in our winter closet. I remember the day I found this coat in TK Maxx, my heart skipped a beat. Ha!! I had been on the hunt for a classic coat like this for ages so there was no two ways about it. -And it was below fifty pounds. Talk of bargain! I’m not a winter person but, having a statement coat like this makes winter worthwhile. If you’re a friend to this blog, then you know my thoughts about wearing colours in the cold season. Colours have a way of kicking your mood from zero percent to a hundred. It lights a happy sensation and gives you a pep in everything you do.
Having a couple of good quality and statement coats goes a long way. It is a good investment because you can get good wears out of them. Please don’t get confused by the word investment here. You can get good coats for few bucks. No need breaking your bank. As a single mother, believe me when I say there’re more important things to invest my money in than spending it on expensive coats. Nope!
About the ootd…
This Knit V-neck sweater is c/o an online apparel stone called TwinkleDeals (2017 collaboration). It’s light weight but, the quality is wonderful. Aside the arms being a tad short (maybe my arms are too long) on me, I love everything about it. Shipping was super fast and they cater for curvy figured ladies. Bookmark or check them out for affordable things. Teaming the top and coat with this black suede skirt takes the outfit to the classic lane. Above all it is comfortable. The lovely earrings is c/o Zaful.
When styling a vibrant statement coat like this, it is all about keeping everything else neutral or simple. The coat is doing the talking without you even trying with the rest of the outfit. That is my take on it.
What about you?
Having said all the above, won’t this coat or outfit be a perfect Valentine’s Day outing look?

The coat is really nice. I love red! But you are so right, making an investment doesn’t mean breaking the bank. It is simply making a wise purchase for something that will last a long time. Have a good weekend Missy May!

What a coat! What a woman! You’re definitely onto something with battling winter with bright, beautiful colours. This is definitely something I could do with being braver about – although I have progressed to a pale pink coat…

This red coat is so pretty! I’ve been wanting to add a red coat to my collection! Or is it more of an orange/red? Hard to tell by the photos! I really love that skirt, too, the texture is nice and it looks soft!!

Yes statements coats are so on trend as is red. I so want to get wool coat in a bright or alternative color. In NY everyone wears black so it would be nice to stand out. And love the sweater too!

What a fortunate find! I must say, TK Maxx is the place to buy exclusive pieces. In my opinion, I feel the snow isn’t off-putting but somewhat delightful as the UK hasn’t experienced snowing like this for years.

That is such a beautiful coat! l’d love a statement red coat like this. I used to have a little red jacket but donated it as I felt I didn’t wear it a lot, and I frequently miss it!
Hope that you are having a nice start to your week and you had a good weekend! We had a quiet one here.

Happy New Year, my beautiful Mavis! I’ve been away because I was dealing with the unexpected death of a dear friend. She was killed in a tour bus crash while on vacation in December. Things are slowly getting back to normal and I will be blogging again soon. Just catching up on my favorite blogger friends and I am with you, girl! I love pops of color in the wintertime! It makes winter tolerable. Red is such a fierce and sexy color on you! You know how to wear it and I love this coat. Very classy with the black piping and the buttons for contrast. Your sweater is so on trend too … I love white in Winter! 🙂 Gorgeous as always … looks line a winter wonderland in your neck of the woods! 🙂

I absolutely adore that coat, such a statement in colour and I love what a classic it is! The great thing about TK Maxx is next time you go in there they probably won’t have it so you won’t have swarms of people copying your style! I love it! May have to hunt this bad boy down myself!

I am all fr a bargain when it comes to such outfits!!! Winter coat coats are amazing, even though we don’t have winter in Kenya, I do wear them during the cold season in July. I am all about color as well because it somehow brightens the mod and environment especially during cold days. You look fashionably warm dear!

I’m all for the statement colours you’re going to pull off this year on the blog. What i loved is the juxtaposition of the red with the snow white background. Nostalgic.we hardly have snow in my part of the world. It’s just freezing. Beautiful styling
