Five Recent Fall/Winter Outfits

COS Oversized Wool Coat (oversized, wearing a size 4) | Sézane Denim (I sized up 2 sizes) | Sézane Emile Cardigan (size up, wearing a large) | Emme Parsons Boots (TTS) | Sézane Mara Bag

I’ll try to give a little insight into the pieces I’m wearing. Many of these are the same pieces I’ve been wearing repeatedly, which is the best.

I won’t go into how much I’ve been wearing this COS coat because, sadly, it’s sold out. I have no clue if they’re going to restock, but if you’re looking for something similar, Theory and Mango make a great one. Then there’s these Sézane jeans and the Emme Parsons boots, two of the most worn items in my closet. I now own the boots and the denim in two colors: brown in the boots and ecru in the denim, and I’ve included sizing details above. 

The Sézane Emile cardigan is beautiful, but if you’re very sensitive to itchiness, I wouldn’t recommend it. I wear a thin tee or tank underneath, and it doesn’t bother me, but I’m not particularly sensitive. I find everything from Sézane to run small, so I always size up. 

As far as the Mara tote, it’s a great one. It fits a lot and has a nice shape and structure. I will point out that it does not fit a 15″ laptop horizontally, but pretty much everything else. There is no real closure, but that is not an issue for me. 

Jenni Kayne Cashmere Turtleneck (use code HELENA15) | AGOLDE 90s Straight Jeans | Emme Parsons Boots | Bottega Veneta Small Jodie Bag | KHAITE Julius Belt | iPhone Wavy Case

For the longest time, I didn’t necessarily understand the Jenni Kayne hype, but when they offered to gift me a sweater, I had to accept. I’ll admit, it’s beautifully made and after wearing it over a dozen times in the last month, the quality really is top tier. It’s currently sold out, but if you’re ever browsing their site and wanting anything, my code HELENA15 gets you 15% off. I am a big fan of their Saturday sweatshirt and sweatpants. 

COS Cable-Knit Sweater (in a M) | Sézane Denim | Emme Parsons Boots | BY FAR Suede Leather Bag| Glasses

Same jeans, same boots. The sweater was one of the few chocolate brown ones I’ve found that was under $200 and the exact shade that I was looking for. The glasses are from the blue light Colors in Optics 

A.L.C. Tatum Jumpsuit (in a size 6) | iPhone Wavy Case | Earrings

A little red holiday number that I couldn’t resist.

COS Oversized Wool Coat | Citizens of Humanity Annina Trouser Jean | Favorite Daughter Blouse Bodysuit | Totême Slingback Pumps | Bottega Veneta Wallace bag. 

The Citizens of Humanity Annina style is still one of my favorite styles of denim when I want that denim trouser look. I’ve worn them with a flat, but I really love them with a shoe that has even a little bit of height. I’m wearing them with these Totême slingbacks.The shoes I really haven’t been wearing them that much, but I think it’s due to the time of year. I’m hoping they get more love during the warmer months. I’ve written about the Bottega Wallace bag here.
