WIW: Pretty and Witty and Gray

Felt monochromatic today - or rather, I didn't feel into colored jeans that would distract from my two new Pretties. Sorry for the blur in the photos. Some of it is rain, and some of it is the lack of dry space on which to set down my camera. I think the pictures still show the color and detail of the coat and boots well, though.

Pic three shows the accessories I wore underneath for work. My BFF gave me the lock and key for Christmas a couple years ago. I had trouble deciding what to do with them and had them hung on the wall as art for a long time. Finally got the idea into my head that they could be strung on *separate* chains, and I really love the apocalyptic effect.

In other news, I was SO glad I had my heavy coat on today, but not for the obvious reason. The A/C was malfunctioning in our break room, leaving it much colder than the outside world. Crazy! But I was happy as a clam. :)

    You are so freaking adorable, Rae. I love the military vibe of the coat and the boots are to die for! Your sassy hair is still killing me. SO. darn. stylish!

    Love them together and the necklaces are great too. What is the model name of the boots?

  • Raisin replied 11 years ago

    That's a great jacket. Really like the color and the style. You look great!

    I really like that coat (think I've said it earlier as well) and you look great.

  • krishnidoux replied 11 years ago

    Too cute! That coat is amazing on you Rae. The outfit showcases it wonderfully.

  • Ornella replied 11 years ago

    Just came over from your other thread. Yes, pure perfection, all of it.

  • Janet replied 11 years ago

    Coat is awesome on you!

    I love the lock and key too. :-)

  • replied 11 years ago

    OMG that coat is truly fabulous! I love the front closure. Looks like something Emanuelle Alt would wear. How nice that the weather cooperated and you got to wear boots and coat together! You look uber cool Rae. :)

    KILLER

    It *was* Christmas yesterday :)

    Love how you re-created that necklace.

  • MNsara replied 11 years ago

    Oh but I love monochromatic greys :-) and you did them proud here! Your jacket is super fab as is your incarnation of the lock and key.

    I don't think I ever got to comment in your haircut thread, but this new do is SO fabulous! Way to go :-)

    (I ran across a Caribou Coffee barista who should be your little sister, or your cousin, or something. If I can figure how to get the pic from my phone to the computer, I'll put it in Off Task later today.)

    ETA: It will be in "Off Topic"! "Off task" is what my students have been all week :-(

  • Suz replied 11 years ago

    Wow, Rae, this is SO great on you!! Absolutely love both pieces, and love them together.

    I have coat and boot envy. In a big way.

  • Diana replied 11 years ago

    LOVE the new coat and boots! I want them both!

  • rae replied 11 years ago

    Thank you for the kind words - I am still smiling when I open my closet and see them. I appreciate the love for the necklace set, too. I cannot believe it took me this long to think to string them separately!

    Ceit and Diana, the boots are Gidigio "Easy Rider," and the coat is Andre Marc New York "Milla." The Andrew Marc "Power" style is the same but in black and cobalt as well.

  • catgirl replied 11 years ago

    You know this is one of my favorites ever. That coat? Those boots? In UWP military grey? Could not love it enough. You will never want to take off THE BOOTS!

  • Kiwichik replied 11 years ago

    Queue the Mission Impossible music - you are so rocking the mysterious Femme Fatale look - love the coat & boots. What's your next mission - you can trust me?

  • goldenpig replied 11 years ago

    I salute you Rae! UWP at its best! That coat is to die for! And I love the lock and key necklace!

  • Sveta replied 11 years ago

    I am in love with this coat...and your new hair too!

  • JR replied 11 years ago

    *hums: We're Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, we hope you will enjoy the show...*

    I love that coat. Seriously.

  • bella replied 11 years ago

    wow, fabulous coat! I love your hair as well.

  • Laura replied 11 years ago

    Just chiming in to say I love, love, love this outfit. So simple, strong, and the fit of the coat is superb!

  • rae replied 11 years ago

    Una is so right. I had to force myself not to wear them today so that I can wear them tomorrow for a long shift. Almost can't wait to work now so the boots and I can be reunited, lol.

    Kiwichik, I think my next mission is just to finish my holiday shopping... but this message will still self-destruct in ten seconds!

    Natalie, I love that you like the necklace - feels kind of Anthro, no?

    Tortise, thank you! Strong and simple feels very good lately. :)

  • catgirl replied 11 years ago

    You can't limit these babies to work - they go so well with your entire wardrobe! They must be allowed to run wild and free! :-)

    I am thrilled beyond belief that you got them.

  • Joy replied 11 years ago

    You look strong and ready to take on the world. Fabulous!

  • RoseandJoan replied 11 years ago

    Gorgeous Rae.

  • citygirldc replied 11 years ago
