In the last post I describe disappointing meanings of words (lederhosen-leather pants)… but for many years, I thought chevron was just the name of a gas station. Embarrassing right? And was delighted to find out that it just describes the general shape of the V character. Nice, the word ‘chevron’ sounds so cool…and it shouldn’t be tied to gas stations and …oil. I love stripes, but find it hard to wear them. Sure… except when I want to dress like Beetlejuice! Then pile on the stripes thank you! In search to wean myself off of the grey routine has taken over my wardrobe these last few years, I’ve picked up a dress that’s well, grey..but it has other colors.
This weekend I’m getting ready for fashion week, it’s been wild working on the IFB conference the last few months. This fashion week there are going to be so many opportunities for bloggers, it’s incredible. I really can’t believe how much has changed in the last few years. But hey, it’s all part of the fun! Is there anything you want to see on the The Coveted for fashion week? I’d love to hear your requests!
Jaket : Talbots (I know!) • Cardigan : Kensie • Dress : Kimchi Bue • Necklace : H&M • Boots : some place in Seoul • Leggings : Target

thanks love! i’m excited, but kind of overwhelmed..it’s going to be a good week!
talbots?! i worked in their stockroom in high school! wow, that jacket is super cool for them. and i love a chevron pattern. it’s much more flattering than horizontal stripes. have a lovely weekend!
hahah i know… i got it from a sponsored post a while back, and ended up wearing it more than the jacket i bought myself…. it’s actually not bad for them!
this may be my favorite on you ever
love it!
thanks my dear! i’m glad you like it!
This looks awesome! I dig it! The stripes remind me in a really good way of Fruit Stripes gum wrappers. They were so bright and beautiful!

Beautiful outfit. I wish I could wear that today instead of the drab ensemble I have planned out. Oh well. At least I can live vicariously. Thanks for sharing!
I had an absolutely lovely Talbots duffel coat that I ADORED. I recently sold it because it was too big, but I feel you on the “I know!”

Great work as always, Jennine! Is there any way you would consider live streaming the conference or posting video coverage of the sessions afterward for those of us overseas? I wish I could be there in person, but would definitely donate to see it online!
this is winter layering at its best! i LOVE how you paired the stripey colorful dress with the marled knit and chic camel coat…what a cheery gorgeous look for the below 0 temps!

jennine! i love your boots! if only seoul was a little closer
look forward to seeing you soon!
I think that coat is great.
It would be great to see your own trend prognosis for next winter, you have excellent but specific taste and it would be great to see how a real woman and not the editor filters out future trends.
Have fun on fashion week!
I said great 3times, be free to swap them for some other words of your choice
Loving all the colors of this outfit and the comfy textures!
