Top It With a Coat

I love the idea of outerwear functioning not just as the outmost layer to keep you warm, but as a fashion piece that compliments your ensemble.  In a city like Calgary, where winter lasts nearly six months of the year, it can be hard to keep your look fresh, not frumpy.  In an effort to keep my winter ensemble fashion forward I found a classic coat dress that can be paired with everything from jeans and boots to tights and stilettos.  Trading out my winter parka for my coat dress will definitely help keep those winter blues at bay until warmer weather gets here.
