I love this set by Clever Girls on Polyvore. With rainy weather like we had this week we need an outfit that keeps us dry, but is still fashionable.
The Denim-on-Denim definitely works here and I love a trendy trench-coat for inclement weather!

New survey reveals 65 percent of women worldwide would reward themselves with a new pair of jeans after losing weight.

BATTLE CREEK, Mich., Sept. 22 /PRNewswire/ – What’s an easy way to tell when a woman has lost weight? Check out her jeans. According to a recent survey by Kellogg’s® Special K ® brand, nearly two-thirds of women around the world say jeans are the first article of clothing that indicates weight loss or gain, and that they would buy themselves a new pair of jeans as a reward for losing weight.

Women from 15 countries weighed in on the survey, revealing that jeans are a common thread among women around the globe when it comes to signaling and celebrating weight-management success.

“The Special K® brand has long known that women have a special relationship with their jeans. The way jeans fit instantly tells the tale of a woman’s waistline, and great-fitting jeans can help a woman look and feel her best for almost any occasion,” said Tiziana Castiglioni, senior director of the global Special K® brand. “These survey results confirm that small victories, like fitting into a favorite pair of jeans, give women a sense of pride and accomplishment.”

For more than 50 years, the Special K ® brand has been helping women look and feel their best by offering simple ways to lose weight without sacrificing the ability to eat real, great-tasting foods.

And as the survey demonstrates, one of the key motivators for losing weight is often clothing – specifically jeans. Key findings include:

* 65 percent of women say they would reward themselves with a new pair of jeans for hitting a dieting and weight goal.

o One-third of women say they have tried to lose weight for the sole purpose of again fitting into smaller jeans.
* The majority of women in the U.S. (62 percent) and Korea (72 percent) view dropping a jean size as a “significant accomplishment.”
