METROSTYLE FOR THE HOLIDAYS
The Christmas holiday is fast approaching and with it comes all the fun of decorating the tree, baking cookies, and singing Christmas carols. Did I forget to mention that Christmas also brings about some stress? We decorate and decorate and then decorate some more, we worry about finding the “Perfect” gift, and then there are the parties that we are invited to attend. What should I wear, will I be overdressed or under-dressed? Let me help you, at least with the dressing part.
Let me introduce you to Metrostyle. You may already be familiar with Metrostyle but if not, you need to check them out. They are a relatively new company, they only started in 2006, but they are bringing fabulous fashions at affordable prices to everyone. When Metrostyle contacted me, I checked out their about page and found that they were a sister company to Chadwick’s of Boston. That was all I needed to know and I immediately said yes. Then comes the wonderful problem of deciding what to style for you gurls.
Have any of you ever watched the television show Scandal? It is a political drama that stars a character named Olivia Pope. I don’t watch the show but I have seen lots of pictures of the Pope character and I have longed for a similar style coat that she wears in the show. As soon as I saw this beautiful Long A-Line Wool Coat, I knew I had found what I was looking for.
The A-Line shape is so flattering. You put this coat on and you will feel like a movie star yourself. I have other coats but I did not have a “dress” coat. I think we all need a coat that you can put on when we wear a dress or are going to a nice dinner or party. I have gone to many functions in a beautiful outfit only to have the whole “look” ruined by a coat that is for just keeping me warm. This coat will not only keep you warm, but it will keep you stylish too.
The coat comes in two colors. The practical choice is the camel color but I wanted to go for the impractical choice. I went with the winter white color which makes a statement all by itself. There are just times when you want to go for style and this was one of those times.
The coat is a wool/nylon blend with polyester lining. You will need to dry clean this coat.
I am 5’6″ tall and I am wearing a regular misses. However, they do offer Tall, Petites, and Plus sizes.
The coat comes with the pockets and the back vent tacked flat, so you will need to cut those open. I sized up on the coat just so that I could wear sweaters under the coat easily in the upcoming winter months. I also wanted to make sure that I could button the coat completely closed for those cold windy nights.
I also had a discount code for my readers. At checkout enter MS45000 for a 20% discount. Go check them out now and let me know what you think.

I am new to your blog and just cannot get enough! You are stunning and I love your style. The fact it is often quite affordable is AMAZING!
Wondering where you got the pearls and the trouser? Been looking around since I got a glimpse of this post!
Welcome, Kristine! I am so glad that you found my blog and are enjoying it. The pearls are an old purchase and they came from Cato Fashions. But, I can not remember where I bought those trousers. You can find them at other stores though; just type in wide leg or palazzo pants.
Hi Tania
Love the winter white on you! The black outfit with the pearls looks very stunning as well. I can see this at a Holiday function too.

Thanks as always for a well thought out and useful post. You look stunning!
Beautiful and classic look, plus sometimes our dressy outfits are thin so this will keep you warm!
Very chic look! I especially love the layers and layers of pearls. They are the icing on the cake. I am a pearl girl and think they look great with everything…from blue jeans and a t-shirt to an elegant outfit like the one you have on! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Winter white is an excellent choice! You look very glamorous.
You look wonderful. One note, though, at Metrostyle your coat has white buttons!!
I’m in love with this outfit. Love the coat but also talk about those black palazzo pants and the pearls. Now THIS is my favorite look!!! Thanks Tania! I want you to know that I look forward to your posts every day…I think they post around 1am!! Haha how would I know that if I didn’t look forward to them!! You’re an inspiration in more ways than one!!
Wow. This is my kind of style!
Beautiful! I thought the coat was a pale pink until Iread your post. Very pretty in pink or white
What a gorgeous, classy look! Good for you, Tania!
Looking gooood…
Beautiful!!
WWWOW! This is the most elegant outfit I can ever remember you wearing and I LOVE IT! You look GORGEOUS, Dahling!
You’re right! Everyone needs a dress coat. I got rid of mine a few years ago and didn’t replace it and we had a wedding in early November that I probably should have worn one to! LOL
This one is fabulous!!!!
You look stunning! I have a short white coat and I love it!
That’s a beautiful coat, Tania! You look fabulous!

I don’t think white is impractical—it’s so clean and stand outish!!
I bought a white coat about 8 years ago and wore the death out of it!! This one is quite stunning on you Tania!!

This coat is stunning on you and the whole look so chic! I cannot believe the prices and quality of Metrostyle! What a great piece to have in your wardrobe!
Really gorgeous coat. I love the whole outfit!
Lovely!
Beautiful! But I want to know where you got the pants. I have been looking for some like that.
You look stunning! Love that coat on you!
Stunningly elegant and timeless!
Love the coat! So long and lean you look in it. Definitely make an entrance anywhere you wear it. Try to keep my focus on the one true gift of Christmas God’s son. Hard to do but when I get a little crazy I pull back and pray. Have a blessed day.
Oh how I love this coat ? You look fabulous! Usually when I arrive anywhere I whip my coat off asap but I wouldn’t remove this beauty!! Your trousers look very classy too.
I love a wool coat. It s classy and elegant. You look very chique today! Beautiful!
Loving your metro style Tania – that coat is adorable especially teamed up with black like you did!
