COATED JEANS
Jennifer Mejia
A coat. It’s good for more than just warmth. It’s a fabulous way to make ordinary jeans a little snazzier (is that a word?!) You guys know I love my leather leggings, but sometimes I want a similar look in a more casual style. Enter the coated jean. I got tired of wearing blue jeans every day, so I’ve started branching out into colors and coated jeans again to make things a little more interesting. You can wear them with boots or dress them up with pumps. They’re extremely versatile, and you know that’s my thing.
I found this pair at…wait for it…Zara! Shocking, right? They sold out in many sizes during the Black Friday sale, but if you click through to the site and don’t see your size available, you can add your name to the waitlist. More are coming! They’ll email you when they’re in. Their system actually works, and I get highly coveted items all the time just after all I think all hope has been lost. They do run a little snug. I went up a size and recommend you do the same. If you simply can’t wait if your size is out of stock, I’ve included a few additional options from other brands. Nordstrom has a ton, and with their great return policy, just order a few and try.
This cropped sweater is wonderful. It’s tweed and has subtle sequins throughout. I have a very long torso, so it won’t be as cropped on most people. I went out on a limb and tried cognac boots and a belt to change things up, and I like the look versus all black. I also think it makes the entire ensemble more casual.

This winter, apply two coats. And I’m not talking paint! xoxo!
