One of my favorite gifts this Christmas was this faux jacket from my husband. It's the perfect amount of attitude when you're lacking outfit inspiration or it's just freezing. Readers...meet Chicago. Chicago...meet the readers.

I bought this vintage dress years ago from a boutique that is sadly no longer in business. I often think about donating it but then I hesitate. For once, hesitation worked in my favor. This coat literally breathed new life into it. See...I'm really trying to reduce, reuse, recycle.
