This Ol' Trench

 Coat: H&M (old), Shirt: Zara Kids (old), Jeans: Forever 21, Boots: Ross (℅), Accessories: Reiss hat, Karen Walker sunglasses, H&M scarf, Prada saffiano tote, Michael Kors watch, ily couture pave bracelet

I'm a creature of habit. There is definitely a part of me that loves adventure and discovering new things but, in my day-to-day schedule I stick to a routine so I don't have to dwell on those aspects of life. As I mentioned in this post, things have been feeling off for me lately so even the "normal" things feel different. For a person like me, that is unsettling. Regardless, we all do what we can to keep calm. Right now, having things that comfort me makes me feel better. A cup of chai, some flowers, ice cream or this ol' trench. It's not the best quality or the best fit but it sure gives me comfort when I need it. And that alone gives me reason to hold on.

  1. I think the trench is cute! I have my eye on a Coach trench but it' way expensive...though I know I';; wear it all spring long.

  14. Oh, I love this all. The stripe shirt which is classic but with the alternating lines a little different too. The trench and jeans (love the rolled up cuff detail) are so delightfully timeless and you wear them well.

    Hearing about your small pleasures that ground you makes me appreciate my own all the more too. :)

  15. I hope things are looking up for you Nancy. I am so envious that you scored this jacket for just $5!! Even if it's not great quality - it looks great on you and such great layering outfit.
