I always forget to wear my cute knitted caps when it's not freezing cold out. While a cap looks cute (and is practical) with a winter coat, it looks even better when worn as a layer with less-wintery items. And, best of all, it does actually really keep you warm! I probably should have been wearing a wool coat today, but with my layers, and the warm hat, I was comfortable in a lighter coat. (Which I might as well enjoy as long as I can, with this fall already starting out this frigidly cold...)
My favorite thing about this outfit, however, is how it finally captures that casual-dressy mix that is so hard to find (for me, at least!). The trench coat is a more formal, traditional option, but with the casual cap added, the whole outfit becomes less precious and more fun. An elusive blend I'm hoping to pin down again.
