10th Commandment: April 6

Apr 6, 2012

I’m a total trenchcoat girl, but lately, I’ve noticed several fashionable women wearing olive utility jackets on the weekends.  I like the look because it gives an outfit a casual low-maintanence air while still being cool and stylish.

    Nice! I just got one of these. I'd love to see some outfit ideas around this kind of jacket. I'm more girly and it's a tough piece for me to figure out, even though I love the look. Thanks!

  2. Terri says:

    Love these jackets and the look No handbag necessary!

  3. AG says:

    Considering that's Burberry it's relatively inexpensive. Still can't afford it though – Ebay here I come.

  4. R says:

    I bought a grey jacket very similar to these on Gilt recently by Splendid, which I really love.

Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Mondays: July 22, 2024

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours.
