This week, I would like to discuss one of my favorite topics: coats.  Because coats are truly one of the best parts about cold weather, perhaps the only good part.  So let’s start with trench coats.

At 40, I’m over trendy pieces.  So mohair and white sleeveless tanks are not on the menu in my house this fall.  But a lot of the must-have items for fall 2022 are basic pieces that work in any wardrobe.

I wrote today’s capsule collection post because I needed to refocus my wardrobe.  But when I started going through my closet last night to assess how close I was to making that post a reality, I realized that I had missed three pieces that I reach for often.  Luckily, they fit perfectly into the capsule’s […]
