The first rain of the season!


      A few days ago we had our first afternoon of rain here in Santa Cruz. Normally I'm not the biggest fan of cold weather but since I have been pulling out all my coats and scarves I was delighted to see such a cloudy day. I put together the following look to stay warm despite the wet weather:



This hat is fantastic, you've already seen 
it featured here as well. The clingy turtle 
neck I've got on is from GAP. Also the hand 
bag I'm carrying is vintage Gucci via Crossroads 
Trading Company (cost me less than a tank of gas!).


This camel colored coat is by Kenneth Cole Reaction. I found it at Nordstrom Rack for 70% off the original retail price!


The skinny jeans I'm wearing are from Alloy. I love this internet company because their pants and jeans come in both petite and tall lengths and their price point is great too, only 39.50! And I LOVE these Bromley boots by Michael Kors, do you recognize them from this post?


                     Hat: Tarnish
                     Faux fur vest: H&M (other styles here)
                     Necklace: vintage Ann Taylor
                     Watch: Michael Kors
                     Purse: vintage Gucci



      Style doesn't have to be coupled with sky high prices. I really enjoy stores like Crossroads, Nordstrom Rack, Marshall's, and even Khol's and Target carry designer collections at a very reasonable price point. Thrift stores and goodwill locations can offer a variety of items to suit your own personal style as well if you are willing to spend the time looking! I encourage you to find those hidden fashion gems at your local discount stores!


Yours,
Nico
