Party season is starting --- holidays, birthdays, that sorta thing... and when that happens, the air is crisper and the nights are getting colder. Admittedly, I used to be most excited about Autumn because it meant a new coat. Coats were my reason for looking forward to back to school shopping. 

And when I got older, coats were one of the mainstays on wishlists for Christmas/birthday presents. While browsing my new favourite shopping site, I'm seriously considering Rachel Comey's Second Husband Coat. The name alone is worth it. Not convinced? Check out the pictures of the coat... the back of the coat looks AMAZING. Honestly.

But I can't just go to a party/gathering in an awesome coat alone... If I do, I won't have to worry about going to anymore of these shindigs. I won't knock anyone who still swears by a signature LBD but sometimes (really, most times) I think I get more bang for my buck with separates. And now, I find an interesting pair of pants trumps a skirt any day.

But FYI: I would not turn down a printed dress.

300 Dollar Pants

via shopbop

I've only bought $300 pants once. Pants. Not jeans. They were No.L.Ita and they were a pair of cropped, army green cargo pants. They were beautiful and ridiculous - but really, who pays $300 for pants? Well, I did. Later on, I told myself I would never again buy $300 pants (when my pants ripped - not from fatness). 

So. When I tried the J Brand Houlihan Cargo pants on at Aritzia, I told myself it was only for kicks. But they were beautiful and perfect. I've been thinking of them ever since and it has been almost a month now... 


You know what this means? It means I'm going to buy $300 pants again. 

(And yeah, I know. They've been talked about and coveted and bought by so many others before me. Certainly they have also been copied by the likes of Forever 21... So, maybe I won't buy $300 pants, maybe I will buy knockoffs of $300 pants).
