Elgin Ponte Knit Blazer ($88)

Inverted notch collars are big this season, and I love the sleek, modern look.  This knit jacket has a structured fit, but comes in a soft ponte fabric and a pretty color.  Boden calls the color “soft red.”  In this photo it looks coral, and in the original, it looks pink, so I’d have to see it in person to be sure.

If you like the cut of the blazer, but want something in a neutral color there are a few choices on the market.  This Theory blazer is basic black (cheaper option, here), and this grey melange jacket has a modern cut.  But if you want options, bold colors are really where it’s at.

This bright cobalt jacket is pretty sleek, and this minty-aqua is nice for spring and summer.  I found this bright orange in plus size, and this eggplant jacket in petites.  But my absolute favorite is a piece you’ve seen before, the woven Aztec-printed jacket.

    This jacket is lovely and it looks perfect and fresh for Spring. I just ordered it. Coral, pink, soft red? They’re all good.

    I used ebates and the code DUAF for 20% off and free shipping.

    FYI the Vince Camuto one is on sale at LT for about $90 and they’re having the Friends and Family sale too! I tried the mint one in store and it’s a perfect color and fits true to size.

Happy Hour: Atlantic Beach Pie

There are two kinds of people in this world: People who eat cake on their birthdays and people who don’t.  And some of the weirdos in the latter category (I said what I said) eat pie as an alternative.  So if you’re a “birthday pie” eater with a late summer celebration coming up, may I […]

The Find: The Only Wire-Free Bra That Didn’t Fail Me

After Sloane was born, I developed a seething hatred for underwire bras.  The trouble was that I had also developed a larger, slightly droopier bust.  It was a cruel irony.

The 2010s Trends I’m Loving and Leaving Behind

Our tween and teen nieces spent the first half of 2023 reviving our high school fashions.  From peasant tops to low rises, I felt like I was back bopping to N’SYNC in my mint-green sedan for a minute.  Now, our 20-something direct reports are bringing back the 2010s in a big way, and I am […]
