It kinda fits into the 3rd challenge as well because it is one of Angie's ensembles, the grey, blue, black & brown ensemble. It is a real outfit for me though. Many of my real real outfits are Angie's more casual ensembles because she is my inspiration. The weather is such that layers are needed right now. Jacket for morning & night.

On a side note, Angie & YLF have made me more stylish but I also find it hard to dress some days because I seem to have too many choices, though I don't have many clothes, & ideas nowadays. Many of my clothes & colors work together & that creates many options. A good problem to have I'm sure but if I had the time I think I'd photograph my outfits so that I'd vary them. Right now I don't remember what I wore even yesterday, let alone last week. Brain fog seems to be a part of my condition. I hope I'm not getting Alzeihmers.

Feedback welcome. Is the jacket shape OK? Purse style OK? Any other tips welcome. Thanks.

I spy fabulous cognac accessories. I'm loving it, Elle. GREAT TO SEE YOU POST AGAIN. (Thanks for the kind words).

How about some non-black shoes? Jacket is killer. Much love to you. xo

Both look terrific!

You look fantastic, Elle! Cognac accessories are made for you. The bag has a classic, strong shape. I also adore that jacket, and think they play nicely against each other for a bit of juxtaposition.

That jacket is the bomb, seriously! I'm with Angie though and would like to see some lighter, perhaps cognac footwear/booties as an option.

Looks great! I like the jacket shape and the purse shape.

Thanks ladies. I was worried 3 cognac items would be too much. I have cognac tall boots that are very boho that I didn't think matched style wise. Perhaps if I wore my cognac leather moto the black shoes would be ok. I have cognac tall boots that aren't boho too but they are high stillettos. I also have dark brown booties but not a belt or bag.

So my Helmut Lang jacket you all love was a tags still on purchase from Sharon Osbourne's fundraising clothing sale, for charity, of her own personal collection. It was almost a quarter of the full price! It is a knit fabric & a bigger size than I usually wear so I think it will be great for traveling too.

Love the color combination! Yay for too many choices. What a gorgeous jacket!
