Wise Words Wednesdays. You can always mix up accessories to reflect the latest trends, but take a cue from Armani, and buy classic pieces that last.

Great Fall coats under $120

This Fall is all about the sleek coat, and these options are as stylish as they are affordable. I love how easily these can add instant style to any outfit— from your everyday jeans and flats, to that little black dress. Here are three options to get you going for the colder days ahead.

A little rock n’ roll: [Faux] leather and contrast sleeves were all over Fall fashion runways. I’m a bit partial to this sophisticated take on the usual grey wool coat.

Vintage and ladylike: Go Old Hollywood or go home. This shade of brown goes with everything— black, navy, grey, red— especially red, and the fur collar hints at the glamour of the 1950s and 60s.

A timeless classic: This just screams Jackie O on Thanksgiving in Cape Cod. A coat this simple is like a blank canvas. Add a brooch, belt, or printed scarf to make it your own.

Best part? Sign up for the Dorothy Perkins newsletter and you get 15% off your first order AND all orders over $75 receive free shipping. That is what I call a deal.

City Girl Logic: Skimp or Splurge?

The perfect black tote is something every woman should have in her closet. Not only is it practical for carrying around your daily essentials (and those necessary extras), but the look and shape is timeless and so stylish. Whether you skimp or splurge, a bag like this belongs in a City Girl’s arsenal.

I want to wear this. My sister is a huge fan of the monochromatic look, and she makes it look good, no matter the season. Try it out! Navy on navy, black on black, red on red… Outfits like this are timeless and ageless.
