The coat dress ia a #bosslady’s secret weapon during the cold weather months. We all have crazy busy days where outfit planning simply does not fit into the equation. Fortunately, a reliable coat dress can play two roles: outerwear and daytime wear. Who doesn’t appreciate a two-for-one deal?! Rather than coordinating an entire ensemble, let a coat dress do the thinking and maybe even the talking for you!

So how does one dress in a statement color without looking like a clown?! The answer is rather simple: combine it with classics! In this instance I am wearing a loud coat dress with black and white polka dot pants. The timeless print effortlessly tones down the nontraditional hue – it’s all about balance. Naturally I opted for a bright white boot, though black is perfectly acceptable. For your reference, I am wearing an xs in the coat and it fits true to size. How do you “do” statement hues?! I would love to hear it!

A special thanks to my Instagram Mom for capturing the moment. It is safe to say that she is ready to pass the baton back to Jonathan!

If you live in San Francisco, dressing in layers becomes routine. On the right side of the road it can be sunny and 70 degrees, while on the other, in the shade, it can be 55 degrees and windy! So before hitting the San Fran streets, I always pack a sweater or light jacket. When I came across this cotton candy colored floral metallic coat, there was no way I wasn’t ordering one for myself. Wear this piece buttoned up as a coat dress or pair it with separates. I didn’t want to compete with the awesome sheen finish, so I styled this gem with a solid light pink maxi length top and a white bandage skirt. To pull together the look, I threw on a bedazzled statement necklace and a pair of “vintage” (decade old) Gucci shades. Finally, I laced up my favorite pair of shooties to bring out the blue hues in the jacket. For under $50, you need a pair of these heels. They’re truly comfortable and the color is the perfect shade of powder blue.

There ain’t no such thing as a successful shoot without your Naked on the Run pallet!
