With and Without

Trench Coat: Zara | Top: Forever 21 | Jeans: Levis | Shoes: Zara | Bag: Louis Vuitton | Sunnies: Ray Ban

My first time to do the "With or Without" post and thinking of doing it more often. I love this Trench Coat from Zara. Sometimes they call it Rain Coat. It is pure cotton that is why it is perfect for everyday use. It comes with a belt but I rarely use it as I don't usually button up coats. I also love wearing all black as it looks simple yet classy. However, I am trying to put a variety of colours in my closet lately especially that the spring is coming. I might throw some florals and crazy prints. That would be fun.

Grey Mood

I love wearing monochrome. It looks smart and classy. Grey is one of my go-to colours if i dont feel like dressing up. It goes with everything. Not over and not under. This grey jeans is from levis. It is actually a legging. The fabric used was soft, stretchy, thin denim that will totally hug your curves. Im not sure about the white belt though. It looks unnecessary with the outfit. What do you think?

Not so cold Winter

Although this is my favourite coat, I rarely use it. It is quite thick for the weather here. You see, it doesn't really gets too cold down here in Brisbane. The coolest I have ever experience so far was 5deg which only happens very early in the morning, and very rare. As soon as the sun shows up, it gets a little warmer. The average temp during winter is 10 to 15 deg which is not that cold. Also, the temp inside shops and buildings is already regulated so you really have to remove your coat. Not that i'm complaining as I can't stand too much cold. But I can't give much love to this coat more than it deserves. The wedge, on the other hand, is also my favourite. And like the coat, it is rarely worn. Im afraid i could damage it if i wear it regularly. Its too precious for me!

Coat with a Hood

All black is my all-time favourite combo. It is my comfort zone. It makes me look slim and tall. Im a size 8 and 5feet 5inches high. I bought this coat back in hongkong on my first ever winter experience. It has wide lapel and a hood. I love wool because it's very warm and very soft on skin. It has a belt but i dont like wearing it. It is a perfect coat for today's cold weather.

Trench Coat

Trench coat is a staple piece everyone should have in their closet. You can wear it on any season, well except summer of course. It is very sleek and would definitely make a simple attire look classy and gorgeous. It comes with belt which i tied on the back so that it wouldnt fall and at the same time creates a silhoute. I dont usually wear green but this sweater gives a vibrant look. Although its a very thin knit, it is very warm. The trouser, on the other hand, is also my favourite trouser as it fits perfectly in my wide hips and small thighs.

Ethnic

I got this coat from end of season sale. It was hanged on the back of the rails. As the fussy shopper that I am, I am not just looking around the store but I do really look on all the items the shop has to offer. Especially during sale, when I know that good stuff is always underneath the stocked clothes. So there I was, running on all the hanged clothes when I saw this ethnic sleeve hanging at the back. It is a really good steal. But the last piece as far as I can remember. And lucky I am to found the exact size for me.

Savvy in Grey

This Zara coat is a little bit old but is still getting so much love from everyone i've bumped into. Who wouldn't? The style is so polished. The colour is easy on the eyes. And the length, which sits just below the knee, is perfect! You can wear it on anything. I am wearing XS, which i think suits my current built. For coats like this i usually choose one size smaller. The trouser is similar to the one i have in camel. If only they have in any other colour, i would definitely buy all of it. It fits just right and the texture is thick and stretch.

Leather Sleeves

I admit, I have copied this outfit from a blogger I cant seem to remember (coz if I do, I will definitely give her a credit). As a fellow blogger, of course I also look at some inspirations and when I see one, I sometimes re-create the outfit. Im sure we all do that. Especially if the outfit is really gorgeous. It just so happen I have the exact same coat and jeans, so I gave it a try. This black and white coat is made of thick polyester which is not too warm. Plus the leather in the shoulder down to the sleeves creats a modern twist. However, i noticed that Zara is faking pockets now. I always got confused everytime i tried to insert my hands to the pocket lining and slips out again.
