Nice shade of purple on this coat by Quiksilver (!). And now all regular priced stuff is 30% off at Tobi (with their coupon code on the site) so you can afford to stand out from the black, grey, and beige coat crowd...

This coat is all-around intriguing. First of all, it's from a brand called "Don the Verb." Secondly, it's called the "18 way coat", as in there's 18 ways to wear it. So on sale, you're really paying only about $24 per coat... right?

Bold necklace by tuleste market. (on sale!) If you're feeling even bolder, there is actually a version with bigger hammered squares!
