This is the second part of our last entry, about how Olivia Palermo recycles old pieces in her wardrobe. As you can see from the two looks above, the main pieces are almost the same: white coat, black sweater worn underneath and edgy leather pants. But again, accessories made a difference: comfy flats, earth- tone satchel and loose hair said laid-back chicness while delicate suede pumps and braided hair made her look evening-ready.

To make a coat-and-pants combo appropriate for both day and night, the key is
