This is the cream and black trench coat from White House Black Market that DH picked out for me when we were vacationing in Hawaii in December (he may regret that he got me hooked on the store!). The trench fabric is permanently wrinkly, but I kept it because DH picked it out for me. I haven't had an occasion to wear it yet, but neutrals week seemed like the perfect occasion to break it out! Plus it's a sunny day and feels like spring so it's a perfect lightweight coat for the weather. This outfit reminds me a little of Angie's prior post where she wore Gap Really Skinny pants with Giveable flats (http://youlookfab.com/2011/07/.....-of-black/)--too bad I don't have those cream and black flats--that would have been perfect!
Which pants do you like better for this outfit--Blue Essence skinny jeans (1&3) or Gap Really Skinny pants (2, 4, 5-7)? The BE jeans are thicker, but tighter since I sized down to a 2, and even then they tend to slip down a bit. So I went with the Gap pants for comfort. I'm not sure I like the outfit sans trench (short skinny top over skinny pants feels a little bare) but the shirt goes well with the trench. And here's some bonus MOTG shots at the park with the kiddos! I was a little dressy compared to the other moms at the park, but who cares, I was comfortable!

Coach black purse (this purse is super old and worn, but it's one of the few neutral non-crazy-patterned bags that I own!)
