The Teddy Coat

Beauties,

It's rare that I purchase a piece for my wardrobe that I am unsure about. One thing I can certainly say about my wardrobe is that I love 99% of everything I own and that's truly because I have spent much of the last two years trying to be more conscious of the things I purchase. Perhaps working in retail or moving twice over the last five years has done this to me, but either way, I have grown to know the importance of quality over quantity. When I purchased the coat in today's post, I loved the way it was styled in Simply Be's catalog, but when I received it, I just wasn't sure if it was the right style for me.

Teddy coats are huge this season and I even shared a teddy bomber jacket on the blog a few years ago here. When I received the Simply Be teddy coat in the mail, I loved the look of it, but I wasn't sure if it was for me so of course, I took to Instagram to ask what you all thought. Almost 90% of people told me I should keep it so... I decided it was worth trying out especially since it had been on back order for months!

Because the teddy coat is such a statement piece in itself, I decided to keep this look simple. I paired it with a simple black tee, my favorite ripped jeans and these studded boots that I'm loving. Also, if you're wondering, the teddy coat is just as warm and soft as it appears. Since it doesn't get as cold as it used to during North Carolina winters, I'm not sure how often I will get to rock it, but I do think it's a solid piece to add to the wardrobe.
