Being a Texas gal, its no secret that winter is one of my least favorite season. If it gets below 40 degrees, us Texans run for the largest and warmest coat we can find. It’s probably laughable to those in the North who consider days like this to be “warm”. Looking cute and warm on fun nights out in winter is something I have always struggled with. This year it was my mission to find the perfect coat to compliment all my looks and keep me warm.

This year I found the perfect coat to solve all my issues! I had had my eye on this perfect Wool Jcrew coat last year, but had missed out on it before it sold out. It is definitely an investment piece so I kept an eye out for sales and scooped it up when it went 40% off in September for Labor Day! Definitely a tip for you when investing in a coat is see when it hits the website and pay attention to the sales. Many people are not thinking ahead on coats at this time so its a great way to save some money and scoop up your size! This coat is amazing to pair with so many colors in looks. Not only is the color versatile, but the shape of this coat is classic to pair with any look imaginable.

For this winter date night look I kept it simple and chic pairing a warm neutral sweater with my favorite pair of jeans and classic nude heels. You can definitely switch out these heels for a cute heeled bootie if you are looking for more warmth! I love also bundling up with a fun bright scarf if I know that I will be outside for awhile.

A tip I always give is keep a running list of pieces you need to add to your wardrobe before, during and after a season. This will allow you to hone in on those key pieces you need next year and you can begin looking for these pieces in after season sales or right when they hit the website!
