Wear This Trend: The Varsity Jacket.

I've been thinking a lot about varsity jackets and the unlikely trend that's been forming around them.  There's nothing I like more than conquring a a tricky trend and this one tricky to say the least.  My advice to those brave enough to dig out their Dad's old letterman, is to think of the jacket more like a cardigan sweater.  I love it with a pencil skirt and loose sweater, or go for broke and drape it over your shoulders while wearing a frilly dress.  And if you never made the Varsity team, or you played one of those non-sport sports like golf, don't fret.  Rag and Bone and Stella McCartney have made jackets that are cooler than anything we would have had to run wind sprints for.  Score!

Update: Gargoyle Sweater in Action!

Spotted this pic of "Leanne" on Stockholm Streetstyle.  Even with the hefty price tag this Carven sweater is now almost totally sold out on Net-a-Porter.com, I snoozed, I loozed.  I know "loozed" isn't a word Mom, don't worry.  For more of my thoughts on this sweater click here.

Gargoyles Are So Hot Right Now.

Sometimes a pieces of clothing gets me so fired up I feel like the more I speak/tweet/blog about it, there's a chance it will magically appear in my closet.  Like The Secret for clothes.  Right now I'm using the power of positive thinking towards this Harry Potter-esqe Carven sweater.  I think I would feel very powerful with two snarling gargoyles resting on my shoulders.  I love it paired with this flippy Mui Mui skirt and Church's brogues and the DKNY bag just ties the whole thing together.  All these items can be found on Net-a-porter. But I warning you, this sweater comes with a hefty $1,130 price tag.  Now,  do you see why I need The Secret?
