Love the Look: White Coat + Mauve Handbag

10.16.09
I love white coats in general, but I particularly love how this one is styled in the photograph below. This woman is looking ultra chic with a mauve colored handbag, a lovely pair of heels, and fresh flowers in hand.

I’d love to find that exact coat (loove the cut!) and handbag, however the print on the image is so tiny I can barely read it, not to mention it was featured in Greek Vogue which means even if I found out where the pieces are from, I’d probably have to empty out my entire savings to be able to add them to my wardrobe :-/
Luckily, there are a few equally stylish alternatives for getting the look:

    Lovely combo- I really like it- I need to find an even less look for less though haha. Off to F21 and H&M hehe!

    enjoy your weekend!

    I absolutely love white coats, though I've had this long-time belief that I can't wear that much white without looking like a snow princess (my skin is ever so fair). Then again, maybe if I threw a cute bag like those and a brightly colored scarf in, I just might get away with it…

    I love this look! I bought a white coat a few years ago and it's still one of my favorite purchases. Now I must get a mauve handbag!

    Love the look! Might just have to go out and buy one of the cheaper versions! ;)

    Love the lavender bag…the new neutral. Actually have lavender suede coach bag, lavender + leopard pointy mules. Love them. Happy weekend, Trish (Trouvais)

    Love a white coat! I believe the purse is by Marc Jacobs, I have one just like it and use it all the time because it actually works with lots!

    That Chloé coat is so beautiful – very Grace Kelly chic with no visible buttons and no collar. I'll have to track it down. And yes, the coat that was your initial inspiration has such a wonderful swing to it.
