Trenches and Benches







Outfit details

Camel trench coat - Banana Republic
Cozy sweater - Banana Republic
Statement necklace and other accessories - Banana Republic
Watch - Guess, Gift from E

What and Where

Please tell me you've been having problems downloading photos to blogger too? It's been a couple of days that I've been trying to post this outfit but everytime I do, blogger keeps directing me to a Cloud feature that I have no idea what is. I had to search for quick ways to fix it, one of which was to go to settings and change your blog editor to the old one. I did that and yes, it worked!  Though I would be amiss if I don't disclose that there were obvious caveats to the old editor, I had to go back and revert to new editor after I've uploaded these photos so I can actually work on this post. I can't change the size of these photos but at least I was actually able to have the photos appear here, right?
Ah, technology.

So, tell me, how've you been so far my dear friends... Do you find that you are back to your regular blogging schedule in the New Year or do you find it harder to post during these dark, wintry days?

 
 
p.s. Have you seen this give-away yet?

Adore the sweater! Seriously, you need to help me out with my closet... I'm in a matching rut... Feels like I just have a few outfits on rotate.

I can see everything just fine and I'm glad I do because it's such a gorgeous outfit!
And I find it absolutely hard to get into a good rhythm with blogging and everything else... Have a great day!

Cara said...

That's such a sophisticated and classic colour palate! And yet still so modern! Glad you're back to posting, but not that you're having picture issues! So far I haven't... yet! There was a time when blogger posted all my pictures sideways. That was fun trying to fix (groan)

BESOS LYNN said...

Love the details, the belt, the watch! Great outfit. Sorry about the your issues with blogger. I have not had any problems.
And yes, its been hard to focus after the holidays.
besos,lynn

That sweater looks so yummy. I really like the pairing of the grey with khaki. Wouldn't have thought of it on my own even though they are neutrals. I really like.

Sidewalk Chic said...

You look so beautiful in your trench and winterwear. I love how you tied your belt.

Good luck with your giveaway -- I tweeted about it! :)

Jodi said...

woot woot.. look at that short skirt.. sexy babe! ohhh and blogger drives me nuts... at least I like to blame it on blogger, might just be my computer illiteracy at times.. but I know what you mean about the photos downloading.. my fonts bounce around and change at times too... growl!!

Love the trench!! I am shopping for a new one, something fabulous, not some stupid cheapo like the one I have... and the sweater is super cute too, love the color and the belt!!!

And yes, I have to get in the swing of daily posts. for me its this weather, is too cold and rainy to go outside and fiddle with the camera timer.. and then the question is, what is a good indoor alternative since the outdoor light is always so much better. I need a personal photographer is what I need... keep asking to borrow Emma's (daily clothes fix) guy Pete but he doesnt seem to want to come from the UK for me....!! darn!!

have a good one.. sorry for the long winded post today :P

Viktoria said...

You always have the best coats! Also, I am loving that cozy sweater. Perfect for a wintry day.

For me, it's hard to get back into the swing of blogging after the holiday break. The weather doesn't bother me; however, I'm lucky to live someplace where the weather is different every week. :)

Unknown said...

Thanks for the comment you left.

I've found I'm back in my blogging routine now after the NY. Normality is back which is quite a relief, it was nice while the party season lasted though.

Hard to get back into the swing of things but I'm getting there. Loving that trench. I'm wearing mine all winter long - who cares how freezing I am so long as I look good, right? Right?!?

k said...

I seriously need a cute trench asap, and that's not hte first time I've said that today!
Yahh, blogging is hard to get back to after such a long break!

Amber said...

cute trench and yeah these days are harder to get nice photos as it gets dark so soon

Chas said...

I love your cozy sweater and how you belted it! Cute gloves too. I think I have the same watch as you!

Chas said...

Btw, I think the Lauren Conrad line at Kohl's is pretty good quality for the price I paid for it. I've been comparing my LC denim leggings to my J Brand ones and I think the LC ones will last as long as the J Brand ones!

you look amazing!!! love the gloves.

Love the skinny belt with the chunky knit. I'm still on old Blogger (although I tend to fiddle with the HTML behind the scenes a lot, so it's not so bad).

PS Posting in the winter is definitely harder. No days off until after tomorrow. Then the 365 days are done and the challenge is complete.

Simply Bubblelicious said...

U look so comfy cozy for the winter weather. Love that trench!

I have no idea what you're talking about with the blogger and editing and going back to the older editor and I'm just lost.

But you look gorgeous! And that's the point, right? :)

Tell me about your camera! I need to find a good camera to buy!

maria said...

It's been a while but u look good.

WendyB said...

The skinny belt is a nice touch!

I've heard other people complaining about Blogger too, though I am on Wordpress.

No Guilt Fashion said...

Thanks for visiting and commenting on my blog. I absolutely love your style. That watch is great, as well as, the rest of this outfit. I personally haven't had trouble with Blogger, but I'm glad you found a way to get these pics posted. They are very pretty.

P.S. I manage a salon. That would be the "store" I referenced.

Laura said...

WooHoo! I love little short cabled Sweater Dresses. Your trench looks very similar to Anthro's Two Paths Trench. And rediculously like the trenched Shirtdress I am wearing in today's post. Same color even. Love your Sunglasses to the Sky look. Very chic!

Isabel said...

im loving the skinny metallic belt! i havent had any problems uploading photos to blogger lately...

Keep Warm (Danielle) said...

I love the long sweater that is in perfect line with your skirt. Looks very put together and elegant, but still flirty!

Jen HaHA said...

I like that belt and how you 'tied' it! Your necklace is peeking out and looks great! You are rocking the accessories!

I was having issues with uploading photos so I caved and paid $20 for more storage- maybe that is the issue? You look great- Banana Republic should pay you to model for them you look so good in their clothes! xo Em

Beautiful look, absolutely stunning.

Moniek said...

Gorgeous! I love the trench x

Amber Schmidt said...

You look gorgeous in this trenchcoat! Not many folk can pull it off and still be in control, but you certainly did swissy missy!

I was having similar trouble, though once it'd be almost uploaded, it would direct me to a screen that said the html code was too large... hmh..

Anonymous said...

ML, you look absolutely incredible. We're channeling each other with the comfy chunky sweaters in taupey, winterlicious hues. However, you're doing it much more fancily than I. :)

LOVE you.
blogger's been a PITA for me, too, lately!

Rebecca Maureen said...

it's hard to take those photos before dark and I've been having a few probs with the photos too. you look gorgeous, wish i had those curves!

Joy said...

Love all the jewelry details. That sweater just looks so warm and comfy. I love it!

Vanessa said...

nobody mixes neutrals like you do! I love how you can take such simple, refined pieces and create an outfit with so much depth and interest! Skills, lady! You have them!
And, yes.... i'm finding it VERY hard to go outside and snap photos/upload photos/stay awake long enough to write a sentence or two on my blog!
