Mint to be

Winters in New England are long, the days are short, and the cold is biting. Every year I appease myself with new outerwear, rationalizing that since it has to become the focal point of all my outfits for the next four months or so, I need options.

With the promise of an extra 60% off sale items and $50 in credit card rewards I went to Banana Republic with the intention of leaving with a sensible black peacoat, as that is the one color I oddly don't own. When the black peacoat disappointed, there was this moto cocoon coat, thrice reduced. I slipped on the extra small. Still oversized I wasn't certain this was a silhouette I could pull off, but the color and the price had me sold. I left paying under $2 out of pocket.

Today I'm also featuring some gorgeous pearl baubles from LydellNYC, their pearl collection is so holiday ready and has on trend pieces like the pearl back stud earrings, along with updates on classics like this choker necklace. If past years are any indication, hold out making any purchases until Black Friday - it's usually half off the entire site.

    Ummm I am obsessed with this coat!! Love the color, love the fit. It was totally "mint" to be. It looks so good with your printed dress and OTK boots. One of my favorite looks of yours.

    It is taking all of my willpower not to sprint to Banana Republic to buy this coat immediately - reduced is even better, of course, but even at full price, what an amazing statement piece in an utterly outstanding colour. The shade seems to jump right out of my computer screen and I love that about it. I especially love it because you paired it otherwise with my three favourite colours, which makes it seem wearable to me despite the fact that the colour actually makes a very bold statement. I think there may be a visit to Banana Republic in my future :)

    I think you can totally pull it off, I love everything about it! The color is fun and it still looks so warm and cozy. And for $2... how can you beat that!? Gorgeous pearls too.

    You look stunning Lydia. Love everything and that cocoon was made for you. The color the shape is perfection. I picked up the animal print version and while I didn't pay $2 (jealous) I got it a great price point. I'm going to check out the jewels on Black Friday, so pretty.

    This is a fantastic ensemble. I like that each piece speaks for itself but don't overpower the others. This coat is a beautiful color. It reminds me of my cocoon stadium coat from JCrew but it has more personality and edge to it with the notched color and snap buttons. Great find!
