Scandalous Coat Game

It is no secret that I absolutely love Olivia Pope, but you don’t have to be a super fan of the hit ABC drama Scandal to appreciate her incredible sense of style. After all, she did inspire an entire collection of power pieces at The Limited. Even though I love all of her White House ready pantsuits and polished sheath dress with the matching Christian Louboutin shoes, I want to focus on her next-level outerwear.

SCANDAL - "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot" - After discovering the truth behind defiance, Fitz is still struggling to figure out whom he can actually trust.
