Remix: The Drapey Parka

I'm beyond excited to remix my Aero parka for you guys - clicky here if you missed the first post! Anywho, I thought I'd tackle brown & black today on SS.  I feel like a lot of people are afraid to wear the aforementioned color combo.  I'm not quite sure why, but it's become a fashion faux-pas. Personally, I don't see anything wrong with the pairing.  For today's OOTD, I threw on a long, black knit and paired it with leggings (my cold weather uniform, ha).  I wore my brown parka on top and put on tobacco colored boots to match. To finish off my look, I carried my Coach crossbody.  The print injects personality, while the color scheme ties the whole look together.  What do you guys think of the color combo - is it a do or a don't?
Let's take a closer look at my new boots courtesy of Cat Footwear. I absolutely LOVE them because they're so cute and comfortable - you get Ugg-like comfort without the ugg-ly design, hardy har har. Wedge heels are the best because they give you height without pain. A total win for vertically challenged people like myself, ha.  If you're looking for fab investment boots, make sure you guys pick up a pair HERE - I'm wearing tobacco, but they're also available in black and cafe.  Note: these boots cost a pretty penny - they're expensive, but remember, you're paying for quality!

The Navy Evening Gown

Oh how I love fancy evening dresses.  This gem, courtesy of Ever Pretty, is currently my favorite concert gown.  I seriously feel like royalty wearing this!  The sequin flowers are beautiful, and the mesh detailing is just the right amount of sexy.  It has a concealed zipper in the back and is conveniently padded so you don't have to worry about bra straps or any of that nonsense.  Heads up, it's 100% polyester so it's not stretchy - I definitely recommend sizing up because this dress runs small!  Make sure you pay attention to measurements.  I ordered a US 4, and it's still a bit tight - a 6 would've been a better choice!  I usually wear a 0 or a 2 so don't freak out - size is just a stupid number anyway.  For those of you interested, this gorg dress is available HERE (product no. 08531) for $74.99.  IMO, the price is quite reasonable for an evening gown.  Use code kimberly to get an extra 10% off.
I told you guys the floral embellishments were stunning!
