I’ve been joking that “mustard and ketchup” is my new favorite color combination, and as funny as it sounds, they really work well together! It’s a great way to go into the colder months with a pop of color that mixes and matches well with the season’s heavy bout of neutrals. In this look, the centerpieces are certainly the crimson NYDJ jeans and the Avon Convertible Trench Jacket, which has the capability to be worn in three different ways. It’s always fun to have options, especially when a flux in temperature can be anticipated or you need suitcase-friendly options when you travel. See below for what I’m wearing in this outfit, as well as the rest of the convertible trench pics (which of the three styles is your favorite?).

I have chills! Why, you ask? BECAUSE…I just found another amazing eco-label called Eairth. But, you probably figured that out based on the above.
Created by New York Designer Melissa Dizon, Eairth introduced its first line in 2007 and is made from organic materials such as pina, abaca, silk, cotton and wool and harvested by indigenous tribes. The line uses pigments from ingredients like coconut husk, talisay leaves, and indigo and the fabrics are hand-woven made in old-style looms.
