I’m back to layering, my friends. Temperatures were in the 30s and 40s this past weekend. Who’s surprised? Noboby! Needless to say, I’m not too excited about the weather but I am ecstatic about my pink coat and Rebecca Minkoff bag. These are two items that I’ve been wanting to add to my wardrobe for a while.
Besides the fact that I’m crushing on anything pink these days, I always find myself swooning over pink coats and jackets whenever I see them, but I’ve been telling myself that they’re impractical. When I saw this coat on clearance at Forever 21, I had no more excuses. The price was right, it was just the right shade of pink and light enough for chilly spring days. I just love the softness that it adds to this monochrome outfit.
I was waiting for this Rebecca Minkoff crossbody, that many a blogger has featured on their blog, to go on sale and when it finally did, I pounced. Now if I can only add the Chanel boy bag to my wardrobe. Sigh. As much as I want one, I don’t think I could ever bring myself to spend that much money on a bag. But if it happens to come in the form of a gift, I won’t refuse!
PS. I wanted to send a big thank you to Jen of Fashionably Employed for featuring me on her Sophisticated Style Spotlight series. You must check out this awesome series, if you haven’t already!

That pink coat is gorgeous. I’ve been wanting one all season but I haven’t found anything with the right price!
Blush is definitely having a moment and I love the way you’ve styled this coat! You do an amazing job of wearing layers without every making your outfits look bulky!

That’s the prettiest jacket ever! Love your Hope bracelet too. Thanks for sharing with Visible Monday, xo.
What a beautiful pink coat! Love the contrast with the blue top. That bag is so amazing. Like you, I don’t see myself spending so much money in a Chanel bag, but I have learnt to never say “never” 🙂 You never know, maybe I can win the lotto lol. You look so beautiful!

Such a pretty pink coat! I am finding myself drawn to lighter pinks and blush currently. Your combination with the grey and black is a perfect blend of hard and soft. Great look, Cynthia!

You and me both when it comes to a Chanel bag…but I don’t think I could ever bring myself to do it either…I will keep dreaming! Ha!! Hope the weather turns warmer sooner!! At least you look cute….super score on the coat!! 🙂
Love, love, love the coat! I’ve been dying for some pastel coats–and pink is my top choice! Definitely hitting up F21 soon 🙂
Ugh feel you on the temp drop, so sad to be back to layers but that coat is cute. I have the same booties, love them.

I love your soft pink jacket with these muted colors. It really brings out the pink! And I love your RM bag too!
I have had an everything pink crush lately, too! This jacket is fabulous and I love how it pops so much with the darker colors you layered under it. BOTH of those necklaces you are wearing are so pretty!
When you’re young, beautiful and in great shape, everything looks gorgeous on you. Sigh…lol. Thank you for linking up to Thursday Favorite Things and we hope to see you again next week!
I like that you are brining the spring to this winter weather with your fabulous pink coat!
What a gorgeous pink coat! I am all about that pastel life for spring, so I am kind of obsessed with your coat. Love how you styled it too, your accessories are on point!!

Great layering Cynthia. I would love to own a Chanel too but that will never happen. I think I need this RM in my life but can’t decide which color. Thank you for joining TBT Fashion link up and hope to see you Thursday.
