A Fabulous Coat and a Head Start on Holiday Dressing

01

Hunter Bell is taking my breath away right now! I love absolutely everything, and the holiday pieces are over the top in the best way. The prints are fabulous, and the way they’re mixed is just what this maximalist loves…florals, plaid, leopard, and a little sparkle. It’s all making me feel ready for the season!

What I especially love is how many ways you can wear these pieces. Pair a statement top with your favorite jeans and killer heels, and you’re ready for a party. Or let a fabulous coat do the work over a simple tee and jeans. Change into suede boots (these are so good), and wear that same coat for lunch or an afternoon out. These are pieces I’d want to wear far beyond the holiday party season…they really are forever pieces!

I’m especially loving the idea of leopard for Thanksgiving. I consider it a neutral, and leopard pants give you so many options. Wear them with a solid sweater and boots (love this affordable option) for every day, or add a sequined top (less expensive here) and heels for a holiday get-together. And if you’re feeling a little more adventurous, try them with a floral blouse or jacket. Keeping a color in common between the prints helps bring everything together…and mixing them is half the fun! You definitely won’t be the boring one in family pictures!

I’ve already ordered the coat, and you can probably guess that I’ll be wearing it with jeans first! I hope these combinations give you a few ideas for mixing prints, adding some sparkle, and wearing your favorite pieces more often. There’s no reason to save everything fabulous for a party…although it’s nice to know you’re ready when an invitation comes!

And if you missed my latest Substack, I’m sharing my collection of shoes from The Office of Us and all the ways I’ve styled them…from gold Mary Janes to some truly fabulous boots! There are plenty of outfit ideas, and you’ll see why I keep going back for another pair. You’ll need to subscribe to read it, but a free subscription gives you access. I’d love for you to join me there!

Thanks so much for reading today!
