LOOK OF THE DAY: AUDREY HEPBURN-ESQUE FEATURING DRESS LILY + PROMO CODE

Happy Monday, Fashionable Friends!

I hope everyone in the United States had a safe and yummy Thanksgiving shared with loved ones.

I'm in our Nation's Capitol, Washington DC, and wanted to share my look under $100 that I recently sported. I am no Audrey Hepburn, but it reminds me of her in the all black and ankle pant.  

It would be perfect for work or an evening at the theatre with an added statement necklace.  I think a different shoe would kick this look up a notch, but a classic black heel always works.

It features some of things I received from Dress Lily, an affordable online shop that was kind enough to send me items of my choice to try out for all of you.

I'm in love with the fitted cut of the Tan Puffy Coat, which is as pictured online and quite warm, but please note that their sizing runs quite small, so be sure to size up! For reference, I'm wearing a medium in the coat and could have gotten a large.  If unsure, I'd stick to jewelry, shoes and accessories.

Items not pictured in this look are the Black & Gold Tie Necklace, which I love and featured in a recent post here and many of you liked over on my Instagram.

Along with a pair of Taupe Button Embellished Knit Boot Cuffs, I've loved this look since it began and have used knitted fingerless gloves to achieve the same look in the past, seen here.

See my entire look with full details below, and get an additional 15% OFF + FREE Shipping using the Promo Code DL15 through December 3rd! ❤

TAN PUFFY COAT: DRESS LILY = $21.50 (AVAILABLE IN OTHER COLORS)  /  BLACK TURTLENECK: FOREVER 21 = $7.90 (AVAILABLE IN OTHER COLORS)  / BLACK CIGARETTE HIGH WAISTED ANKLE PANT (SIMILAR): EXPRESS = $34.95  /  BLACK HEELS (SIMILAR) : MICHAEL SHANNON FOR OFF BROADWAY SHOES = $29.99  /  SILVER & RHINESTONE RING: DRESS LILY = $2.50

I try to avoid posting on politics, but I think it's important for each of us on the United States to realize that regardless of what your vote was, what your views are or your political party is, we are fortunate to have a vote, and chance to be heard, and should respect others as well.

I know the US election has shaken a lot of people, and in my eyes neither was a stellar candidate, but I think we, including the media, at least owe it to any person who takes office a fair chance to do well and succeed. Only time will tell how they will do, let's spread love, not hate. ❤
