Best Trends Forever – Oversized Coats

The oversized coat is making an appropriately-sized comeback and we couldn’t be happier. We think it’s such a fun and stylish trend and we found some great tips for styling them. See what Shape Magazine‘s Tara Blumenthal suggests for making this trend work. These were our favorite of Tara’s tips!

• Keep the rest of your outfit FITTED.

• Give yourself a lift, a.k.a. WEAR HEELS.

• Show some skin.

We did a little fantasy shopping at www.BattleShop.co and found these great oversized coats. Would you put one of these in your ONE STOP SHOPPING closet this week?

We want you to build a 5 PIECE winter look FROM A SINGLE RETAILER that includes a wool coat. Be sure to put something under $50 in your closet. The TOP 3 FINALISTS will get to choose something under $50 as their prize. Some of these coats would be great for your closet!

Which Swoon-worthy Look Would You Wear?

The STRUGGLE of coordinating makeup with your outfit IS REAL, ladies, and we know it. This week in our Brush With Beauty challenge at BattleShop.co, we want you to show us how you’d coordinate a dream wardrobe with makeup and we’re prepared to make the stuggle PAY OFF in a beautiful way!

Our friends at Swoon are giving away 3 of their awesome Pick-Up Artist lip gloss applicators to the top 3 closets in this week’s fantasy shopping challenge.
