Stripes and Polka Dots

I’m wearing this to church this morning. I’ve never worn the sweater with this scarf before. And since it was 20F, I wore this duffle coat that I gave myself last Christmas. I had been looking for a red coat for a while, and finally found this one. I just love it!

I’m having a foot problem and am limited to very few of my shoes.

Sweater - Halogen
Scarf - Talbot’s
Jeans - Levi’s
Boots - Born
Coat - Montgomery

LOVELY TO SEE YOU, JAileen!!!

Looking festive, pattern mixed, and fab!

Sending healing thoughts to your foot.

KILLER red duffle coat! It loves you right back. Super Christmassy with the scarf! You can send the duffle my way too....

Love the bright sweater and your coat is gorgeous. I'm also feeling my bright pink coat at the moment. Dots and stripes is such a fun combo.

That's a wonderful winter outfit. Red is a great color for you!

THAT DUFFLE COAT! ❤️❤️❤️. It’s a great piece it seems so much your style, but ‘elevated’!

Festive, cozy pattern mix! I love it! Those are real mood-lifting pieces and even more so worn together!

Jenni, thank you. Even though I wear grey, navy and olive all the time, it turns out I also like wearing red.

Angie, thank you. The coat is actually pretty great. It’s like a blanket!

Sal, thank you. Hahaha! I guess I usually wear grey. Grey looks great with the coat.

Dee, thank you. I think the coat makes the outfit.

Star, thank you. I also love pink! Have we seen your pink coat?

Bonnie, thank you. I think my coloring might be neutral. I seem to be able to wear colors from several seasons. I just look dead in black, unfortunately.

Carla, thank you. I know, the coat is really me, but kind of in your face, too. I mean, come on, red!

Sloper, thank you. Red!

Jaime, thank you. Yes, red is bright! Hahahaha!

Suz, thank you. Earlier this month the heat at church was out. A couple people mentioned it was chilly today, but even without my coat, I wasn’t cold - the sweater is cashmere and very toasty.

I like how the red of the scarf matches your coat lining.

Red is your color! Happy sweater and coat!

Very festive look! The red coat is fabulous on you!

This is a perfect pattern mix! The colors in the scarf go so well with the jumper/sweater and all the fun colors make me smile.

I can sympathize with foot issues. After having foot surgery years ago I will not compromise on footwear, comfort is a must for me. I hope your foot issues resolve soon.

That red duffle coat is a gorgeous color on you!

Nice to see you in colour and pattern mixing like a pro. You should wear more red, it really suits you.

Great outfit! Love that coat!

Festive and fun! You are too cute in the stripes and the red duffel coat is spectacular! So great to see you!

Joy, thank you. Considering I mostly wear grey and navy, it’s funny that I have several red scarves, including another polka dotted one!

Aquamarine, thank you. Who knew red was my color? I love wearing the coat.

avicennia, thank you. Did you used to have a duffle? My mom bought me one when I was in 9th grade. I wore it to death.

ChristelJ, thank you. I’ll be wearing the coat a lot this winter.

slim cat, thank you. I think that’s why I wanted a red coat - because it’s festive.

Lisa, thank you. I’m sorry you had foot problems, too. I can’t wear any of my clogs, even my Fitflop slippers. I have a referral but they won’t even schedule me for a couple weeks.

Brooklyn, thank you. I guess my clothes are mostly neutral. The great thing about that is everything goes with the coat!

RobinF, thank you. The coat has a lot of personality.

kellygirl, thank you. It was funny, two separate people at church mentioned Joseph’s coat of many colors! Hahahaha!
