Oh, Chanel, how you thrill me. It doesn't matter how simple the dress, Chanel classes it up like no other designer can. I wore a different Chanel LBD a while back, but this is another slightly longer version with a double C detail at the neck.

Instead of sporting it up with little black Supra sneakers like I did with the last black Chanel dress, I did the Heidi Klum ultimate 'do' and mixed the hard with the soft. I paired this soft knit dress with a hard motorcycle jacket. I take the quote "beauty is pain" to the extremes when it comes to outerwear. You will never find me in a big colorful puffer coat, but you may very well see me shivering down a snow covered sidewalk wearing nothing but a leather jacket and too-big-for-my-head fur hat. I do not recommend it, but when it comes to winter gear, thisisalligot.

Although, if pea coats count for sufficient winter wear, I'm covered. And I can't wait to show you all my new plaid pea coat with leather sleeves. Just took it out of the box this morning.
