Challenge day 4

What I wore :
Charcoal cashmere sweater
Coat in Chalk
Denim in medium grey with side zip
Heels in Chalk
Handbag

Why this is me:
It covers my internal need to add some light neutral pieces to my wardrobe

I love the color combo of grey and chalk

2 colors
Solid
Neutral

The handbag pulls the outfit together by adding texture and pattern.

* The fabric in the coat has a built in wrinkle. I knew that when I bought it , but I love the color , shape length, and it has a very fun collar . When I got home I promptly tried to press it into submission, but it would not comply . So I just try to “accept the things I cannot change “ as they say but I’m not gonna lie... it BUGS me

My fave so far because I love light neutrals. Luxe, dressy, glam and polished as always!

Chuckling at your bossy wrinkles

Love how the details on your bag echo the buttons on your coat. Your light neutrals are inspiring!

I've been observing that you often bring in pattern (plaid, snakeskin) via your handbags, is that right? Clever!

Looks great otherwise- could a dry cleaner tame the wrinkle?

Thank you Angie for always leaving a thoughtful and supportive comment. Your words are powerful and meaningful to me

Yes , Laura , I often use my shoes and handbags for a pop of color and to add texture and pattern

Thank you Kathie , Cardiff girl( hah, I have built in wrinkles too)and Torontogirl .
Suntiger, unfortunately the wrinkle IS part of the fabric integrity. Much like a linen blend , but no linen . It’s weird

The bag and shoe take this to extraordinary. I love the cut and details on that coat - I can see why you suffer through the wrinkles.

Well Taylor your wrinkled coat is my after steaming coat, and you still look stunning. I like the close up of all your rings and bangles - not too little, not too much, just right!

Taylor, this is a beautiful outfit, so pretty and with a soothing color palette. I am smiling at your frustration with the wrinkles; a deliberately crinkled fabric is just the kind of thing I gravitate toward--it would have been a big plus for me! I'm with Shevia, too--I really like how your jewelry works with this clean look, adding interest along with the gorgeous bag (oh--and the lacing on your shoes, too--the details add so much to this outfit).

Crinkled is exactly the word I was looking for.
Thank you for your awefully kind words Firecracker.

Beautiful! Love the light neutrals on you. You are right, the bag pulls the outfit together really well and what a gorgeous bag! You are so chic.

Lots of love for this combo! You create such a polished and interesting outfit with your light neutrals. Your bag really does pull all the other pieces together......incredibly gorgeous!

Such a stunning look on beautiful you. I am adverse to creases and much prefer fabrics lie this that have inherent crinkling to linen that just looks creased in certain spots.
