It sometimes only takes one piece in your closet to inspire a look that typically isn’t your style. Though, I do have to say that I have pretty eclectic taste, which means that my style doesn’t only fall into one category, it falls into a whole assortment of categories, which I prefer! My dad bought me this pea coat about four years ago when I moved up to the city, because ‘I didn’t have any coats to keep me warm.’ Surprisingly, he fell for it and of course I wore it a few times and then moved onto another coat (or two) but never got rid of it. It’s a classic piece that makes me feel sophisticated and it has the ability to balance out  something a bit more playful, like these red pants. I love when clothes can push your personal style in a way that you never could have imagined it going.
