The Purple Trench

Yesterday was rather cool and I had the opportunity of wearing my favorite purple trench coat... It's extremely feminine and cute and has the most perfect accents that help make it stand out.  Planning my outfit around my leopard shoes... I decided to throw on some relaxed pieces...

 From day to evening...

my dad is normally my photographer so I try to squeeze 

in pictures whenever I can.  

 The back of my jacket is adorned with a HUGE bow and buttons down the center... My favorite part of the jacket - OF COURSE is the bow!! My best friends were with me when I purchased this jacket... they thought it was nice MINUS the bow but they know I have a tendency to get excited over the dramatics!!

Emijaa Jaaemil Tip: Don't be afraid to mix patterns or add bold colors - sometimes it's that one key accent that helps to make the most simple outfit stand out.  I'm very new to mixing patterns - but I do find it exciting since its very easy to get caught up in a boring ensemble!
