trench coat — Blog — Sweet & Sauer

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you had a great weekend! It's really starting to cool off in Denver, and I am not a fan. I'll probably start hibernating soon (kind of like I did all weekend). One fun thing I did, though, was attend the Shane Co. Toyland party which celebrated their biggest holiday selection ever. There were some really beautiful pieces! It was a fun night of mingling and playing with jewelry. Perfect way to kick off holiday event season. If you want to check out the collection you can do so here.

How cute is this coat? It's a soft suede that feels like butter. It's like wearing a robe. Definitely not a warm coat, though, so save this baby for warmer days. It's a perfect fall or spring layering piece. Pairing with jeans and a white tee really lets the coat stand out. I love longer coats like this paired with jeans and a tee, it's such a simple outfit and the perfect way to wear a longer coat. You can see another example on how I styled a longer coat here.

Have a great week friends!

Happy Thursday! Holy cow things have been crazy lately. If you follow me on Snapchat (@mallorysauer) then you saw I was in LA with my mom. We actually went for some doctors appointments (second opinion cancer stuff) but made a fun girls weekend out of it! It was nice to get out of town, spend some time with my mom and just have a break from the craziness that's been going on lately.

Ok enough of that. Let's talk about this coat! I am in LOVE with this baby. I've been wearing it non stop. It's warm, adds interest to a simple outfit (as seen above), and is classic. I love pairing statement jackets like this with basic jeans and a tee, and then dressing the look up or down but switching up shoes, as I did here.

I've gotten a lot of questions about my experience with SheIn (formerly Sheinside). I've ordered a handful of pieces from them, mostly jackets, and have been pleasantly surprised. With anything, you get what you pay for, but overall I think they have great products for the price point. They have been my go-to website for fashion coats for a little over a year now. I always size up (I'm wearing a medium here). I promise it's not as sketchy as it seems. I've even gone through the return process and although it's a bit of a process, it's totally legit.

Tomorrow I'll be sharing a fun beauty product review, and next week I'm giving away a necklace from Threads Worldwide. Stay tuned :)
