Even though the weather has been in a state of constant of flux for the past several weeks in Chicago, we all know it’s going to (unfortunately) get chilly soon.  A great fall coat will once again be an absolute necessity. I find it wise to invest in a neutral color or a bold color that most of your accessories will pair with nicely. Something that can be worn day-to-day, last a few seasons and not feel dated or worn. I was able to grab the hooded wool coat from Zara (#2) and I can’t wait to wear it. I suggest not waiting until the last minute, too. It’s such a bust when you find “the” item of your dreams and it’s sold out in your size, everywhere! Have a great weekend!
