One fail-safe way to make any look over-the-top dramatic? An oversized faux-fur coat. I recently “borrowed” this one from my super-stylish mom (it won’t be getting returned anytime soon) and it’s been my go-to for making an impact and staying warm while we wait for the real spring to arrive.

I played up the rich eggplant color with bright floral leggings and fuchsia lips (the next big thing) and grounded the look with a chic black tunic. The result? More drama than the Bravo network.
