For this month's Bloggers Do It Better challenge, our task is to showcase our winter coats. While I recently invested in a long North Face puffy-yet-sleek parka for practicality and preservation of fingers and toes, the fleeting fall days are a great transitional time for light jackets like a trench coat. These are surprisingly water repellant to block out the freezing rain.

This outfit was from an entire year ago (10/19/2012), when the foliage in my neighborhood was absolutely striking. The explosion of fiery colours in the canopy above, reflected on wet pavement - one of my favourite images of fall, with natural confetti decorating the ground. Clear bubble umbrellas always seemed like fun raingear to me and make walking around easier when you can see right through them. They even show your outfit better than traditional opaque "rain-pellants." I tied the belt behind the coat to show off my layers underneath and liked the juxtaposition of the soft pastel flowers and peplum that are usually associated with spring against the vibrant shades of red and gold in the glistening leaves on the ground. Pop on a bright red lipstick and voila, fall workday to date night look.

Those leaves are just gorgeous, I was immediately drawn to your thumbnail on the PSS Bloggers Do It Better page. Loving the texture of your floral top and lace skirt, plus clear umbrella is a great addition. I think I need to get one for myself!

Oh, Angie! What gorgeous fall leaves. I adore this chic look as well. What a great trick to tie the belt of a trench coat behind instead of in front. You have the classiest style!

By the way, I love that artsy shot with the raindrops on your flats and the caption of "leaf me alone!" Perfect haha.
