Blue Coat

If you've been perusing my Instagram over the past couple weeks, or have seen me out and about, you'll know I've recently become obsessed with this electric blue coat. I bought it about a month or so ago from Old Navy, when the weather was just starting to get really cool. I knew I wouldn't be able to wear it much longer, but I was too in love with the colour (super on trend, if you remember this post), and style. It turns out I have been able to wear it into the late fall (and early winter) by just severely layering under it. I'm not saying it's actually been keeping me all that warm, I'm just not ready to give it up just yet.

Weekend Highlights

This weekend included one of those "many celebrations" I mentioned in last week's Long Weekend Highlights post. Besides myself, there are three other people who I work with who celebrate their birthdays in October, and so we planned to do a co-worker dinner to celebrate the four birthdays. The people I work with are some of my best friends and I'm so thankful we were all able to come together and have a great night, eating yummy food and having so much fun together.

I decided to wear a gorgeous electric blue lace dress with a cutout on the back, with minimal jewelry, and I finished it off with a leather jacket and strappy black heels. I was definitely cold and perhaps a little overdressed for Moxie's (so were my friends), but hey, it was my birthday celebration and who doesn't make small sacrifices to look good?

Electric Feel

Yet again, one of the hottest colours of the season is this beautiful, bright, electric blue. There is not much more to say about this colour trend that I haven't already in previous posts about it (see Surprise, Surprise and From Fall To Summer) . I love the idea of taking such a bright, predominately summery colour and turning it into something we can wear in the cooler months. Especially in pieces like the ones below, how can you not love this electric blue for autumn?
