Puffy coats: A winter staple

Puffy coats aren't just for the ski resort anymore! Coats are the perfect accessory to spice up your wardrobe, and give your look of the day the perfect pop of color! I own a plethora of outerwear (I'll post a haul of all my outerwear in February after the end of season sale) and love to switch up my coat depending on my look of the day.

Today's coat was purchased from H&M (before the photo fiasco) for only $15, and was regularly priced at $80! If you live in the Midwest or the North, it's the perfect piece to keep you warm and fashionable on the below zero days.

For this look, I kept my pieces simple, as I was wearing a sports shirt (Rock Chalk!) and wanted my coat to be the focal point. I paired my Kansas cropped top, purchased from PINK during their on-going Semi-Annual Sale with a pair of high-waisted jeans, purchased from Old Navy. To complete the look, I added a pair of Fenty dupe shoes, currently on sale at Rue 21, and added a glossy, glitter lip because you can never have too much lip gloss! My purse is a Christmas gift from my boyfriend, and is from the latest Michael by Michael Kors Collection.

Now is the time to stock up on your winter outerwear! Stores such as Rue 21 and H&M have marked down this season's hottest coats to under $20!
