I recently snapped these photos quite quickly (it was super windy and cold!) for this Instagram post, but I loved the look and photos so much I wanted to share them here in a mini post.

When in doubt of an outfit, especially if you’re looking in your closet for something that will fit, a trench coat can be easily transformed into a dress.  You can layer a turtleneck or bodysuit underneath, a skirt or slip dress you don’t necessarily want to be seen, and just keep it buttoned or wrapped the entire time.

When I saw how this look turned out I just thought, “why am I not doing this more!?”  I added a neckerchief, suede pumps and some dangly earrings to complete the outfit.  And I think I’ll be whipping this ensemble out again.
