Peplum tops are all the rage this season, but apparently I was on trend one winter early when I picked up this Elevenses plaid wool peplum coat at Anthropologie last year!  I just love the red plaid pattern, the furry collar, and the military-style buttons.  For today's outfit, I paired my peplum coat with a mustard sweater, my favorite J Brand skinnies, my Lulu "Equestrian" scarf, and my Vince Camuto "Brooklee" knee-high boots for a casual winter look.  I also am sporting my new Baublebar "Gold Arrow Ring," a birthday gift from my dear friend Michelle that is part of Baublebar's collaboration with the lovely Blair over at Atlantic Pacific.
