"Why is she dressed up as Sherlock Holmes?" must be what my entire university thought as I walked past in this strange ensemble. It was a Monday a couple of weeks ago, and no signs of spring yet to come, I decided to throw on my trench and a newly acquired fedora to top off the outfit. It seems like STL skipped straight over spring and summer to eagerly arrive at fall again. A few daffodils sprouted their green leaves - an encouraging sign.
I will separate this look into two posts because the trench covers up most of the bright inside. You'll see what I mean in two days. I've found that Target is a great place to look for affordable trends. I got this waterproof (but not wrinkle-proof) trench coat for $50 last fall and wore it most of the season, day to day. It does fall a bit too close to the knee for my height (always jealous of those gorgeous models who bare their legs and the hem of the trench falls 4-5 inches above their knee-cap (Vivian Volkoff in Chuck, anyone?) and I have to double-tie the belt so it won't come undone but for the most part, it's a relatively affordable trench that works over many outfits. Now with my new favourite hat, I can feel extra private-eye. The only question is, where do I find the perfect Sherlock pipe?
(Smoking is bad and will eventually kill you faster than warranted. Don't do it. Pipes are cool props only).

*love* the trench coat, it's such a classic item!
Happy pi day to you too! :) The trench is nice, but the sleeves seem a little baggy. I think it still looks good though! :)
LOLOL @ the title! I like the trench coat =)) been wanting something similar myself :D
PS: the third to last pic totally made me laugh XD
just found your blog today! i love this post, esp since i'm trying to work more "natural" colors into my wardrobe like khakis, greens, brown, tan, etc. i've always been drawn to them but i find it easier to accessorize bright colors with black, white, and grey. so fun heheh.
i also love that hat as well. it's cute and i like brown/black together, plus the discrete little bow is a nice touch to make it more girlish.
i know what you mean about stl weather though, i live in the area as well. i was a bit disgruntled to wake up to snow, seeing as i was in skirts and 3/4 sleeve sweaters all weekend! bah, spring will come, hopefully.

I have tried and tried to find a trench coat- it's so hard to find. You look adorable in this:D
I'm still looking for a trench that fits my tiny frame... I recently picked up an Ann Taylor silk trench that drapes really well but is pricey and I'm not sure I should keep yet. Will need your help to decide once I get around to taking some pics of it!
