Coat Check

November 21, 2018

Dare I say, it’s actually cooling down in California this week. And I’m not talking about switching out bare legs for pants. This past week the mornings and afternoon/evenings have been down right chilly. No chance of snow (joking) but a definite need for fun coats that make layering ten times more fun. Enter Bernardo, one of my longtime favorite sources for winter coats.

Remember this trench I shared a few weeks ago? It’s a Bernardo coat I’ve hung on to for years because it’s so classic and good. Their coats are well made, functional and best of all warm! My latest find from the brand is this houndstooth coat that I can wear in so many ways. Thrown over a tee with denim or paired with wide leg pants and a blouse. The colorway works with nearly every basic neutral in my wardrobe and feels subtly holiday appropriate. The best part? Bernardo is currently having a Black Friday event through 11/26. So you’ll find this coat and more on sale. 

On a cold, grey morning I pulled out this look for a meeting and later switched out the boots for tennis shoes for a more casual look.
