Friends, is there anything you love more than a trench coat? The answer is no (other than family, friends and food of course). I've had a love affair with trench coats for about a decade now after the first time seeing Catherine Deneuve sporting one with a simple pair of ballet flats and looking damn chic doing it.  The best part is they can be worn so many ways. On Friday I threw mine over a canadian tuxedo and favorite new pair of sneaks to run some errands and for the drive down to the beach. Friday night I had some drinks with the girls and threw it over a leather dress with some fierce booties.

The point I'm trying to make it is: THROW TRENCH COATS OVER EVERYTHING. Also, as Anna Dello Russo declared, wear one as a dress! Throw a belt over it if it doesn't come with one and pair with flats for day or heels for night....boom done, instant outfit. 

See ya Wednesday skrillas and get excited.....the Doodle Bug himself will be showing off his latest #ootd :)
