So this week I was challenged to make an ensemble with this Steve Madden Diagonal Alley Coat in Black that is available on ModCloth and up to 7 other items currently being sold on the site. I instantly adored the coat and thought it was a great statement piece and an article of clothing I could use to enhance a fabulous winter outfit. Who says you can’t be chic in cold weather? One of my favorite go-to’s to add to my wardrobe that compliments my personal style is pieces of clothing and accessories that incorporate skulls. I fell in love with a pair of black leggings with skull kneecaps that I stumbled upon on ModCloth that I cannot wait to add to my closet. I felt the perfect pairing to these trendy Skull for One leggings would be a longer tank top that paired well with the leggings but was also simple so as not to overshadow the leggings. I chose the Sunrise and Shine top in Purple that features a longer length in the back than front which gave the basic top an edgier vibe and I thought the ombre coloring in the top was simply stunning. Instead of pairing a sweater or blazer with the look I thought that just adding the coat was the perfect way to round out the outfit because the coat is a beautiful piece of clothing that would look effortlessly chic both indoors or outside. One of my favorite ways to finish any look is to accessorize so I knew in order to complete my ensemble I wanted a necklace, clutch, boots, and shades. I added the Rule of Thirds necklace which is a statement silver necklace to the top and decided that no other jewelry was necessary to make this look fabulous. In terms of shoes I knew immediately that I wanted a boot and I found the perfect pair of boots on ModCloth. The From the Same Cloth Boot in Noir was the perfect mix of faux leather and suede with a small heel taking this pair of boots by Bait Footwear to the next level. The last accessories to complete the look were a clutch and pair of sleek shades. I decided to go fun and fabulous when choosing the clutch because the color combination of the outfit this far was simply black and purple. I found an amazing Betsey Johnson leopard printed clutch, Wild About Style Clutch, that was big enough to store the necessities but small enough to also be a great bag to accompany a night out outfit. Another accessory that I love is a great pair of sunglasses and for this look I wanted a sleek and stylish black shade. The Quite the Looker sunnies that I found on ModCloth were the perfect way to finish my look and make the ensemble stylish and ready to wear out. Check out the ensemble I created below.
