Change up your winter coat!



Two simple changes and my favorite winter coat looks completely different! Here's how I did it:

1.  Removed the self-tie belt and added a brown leather belt.
2. Attached a faux fur collar using large safety pins.

Coat: Banana Republic, $130 (on sale, two winters ago)
Faux fur collar: H&M, $15 (recent)
Belt: American Eagle/Filene's Basement, $5
Jeans: Hudson/Filene's Basement, $70
Shoes: Restricted/Endless.com, $38

  2. J, I love all of your outfits, especially your shoes! My problem is that I'm a teacher that has also had a bunion removed back in '05, so I can't wear the tallest of tall shoes all day long because I'm always on my feet or walking long hallways. Do you have some shorter healed shoe finds that you could blog about? Thanks! (love the faux fur!)

  10. Cool idea! I wish we could order from H&M. There isn't one in TX and I don't get to a place that has one very often. =(
