Entrenched 4

This being the fourth and final consecutive week of us being in the trenches together, I'd like to thank you for remaining here with me‼️. I thoroughly enjoyed this photo shoot with the incredible Rachel, whose deep well of talent and calm allowed the looks to shine. It was a fun challenge to come up with interesting, various trench coat looks, and I hope you loved reading about them as much as I loved creating them.

Rachel captured each style so individually, and she nailed the creative vibrancy of the day. The first second we met, we hugged it out, and that was it. Hugs lead to great things😀. I am a huge fan of this look, since the building blocks are two of my most used items in my wardrobe; denim cut offs and a crisp white button down shirt. Classics to the max. With those as your starting points, it's almost impossible to F it up. When in doubt, stick just with that and you'll still look amazing. Promise. A good, clean tuck is needed here to balance out the volume of this long, leather trench. This ox blood colored leather is amazing. It's so strong yet somehow not in your face. Without the trench, the outfit can totally be Spring/Summer. This is not a warm weather coat, it's more for when temperatures start to dip. The heavy leather is too much for when it's hot out. This ensemble can easily be worn all year, just swap jeans for the shorts. Easy.  A bold printed silk scarf tied around the neck with the ends tucked in made me feel like Grace Kelly, or a stewardess. I don't mind either😜.

The shoes here are platform oxfords. The bright green in them work well with the strong colors in the scarf. Same color family. The Oxford is another classic style, which compliments the shorts and shirt. A word about these shoes; they're driving me crazy. I bought them in January. Prada new collection. As rad as they are, and as badly as I want to wear them, they sound like like I'm walking on whoopee cushions. It's mortifying. I'm so annoyed I succumbed and bought them, I believed the sound would go away, as the salesman promised. They sit in my closet giving me the finger,"you know you want us, but you can't really wear us". They were expensive, I was gullible. If anyone has any tips of how to avoid sounding like a gaseous nightmare while wearing these puppies, PLEASE share.  It's too late to return them, and they do look super cool. Sometimes fashion can trump dignity, but this is extreme. Help‼️.
   

To conclude, the coat really elevates things here. It brings unexpected strength, lending sharp, defined lines. It's the ultimate cool weather accessory. And if you are indeed a stewardess, and you happen to be heading to Monaco, send my ❤️to the Royal family. Just don't fart with your feet. They don't execute people there, but you'll want to kill yourself.
