I dream about fashion. No, really. Sometimes I’ll have a dream, and when I wake up, all I remember is what I was wearing. Last night, I was wearing this gorgeous ivory coat. Now, I have coats on the brain.

My dark under eye circles have been the bane of my existence since I was 12. Is the cause lack of sleep? Dehydration? Sinus issues? Stress? Who the hell knows. But there they are, every day, telling the world that I am an exhausted working Mom.
Every now and again, I spot a piece on sale and I have to have it. I need it. I cannot live without it. Recently, I spotted a jersey tee at Boden that takes a casual top to the next level, and I just needed to share.
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 Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours. So we packed Sloane up for a visit to a local llama farm, stopped by the pool, went for coffee, etc. Few things are as funny as watching a 23-month old feed carrots to a ravenous rescue […]
story time – my girlfriend was packing to sell their house and move. I went over to chat and help. She handed me a long ivory BR wrap coat, looks similar to #1 (but I don’t think closer to #2 pricetag) and said, “Here. You have this. I never wear it. I’m too scared of staining it.”
And have it I do. Love that thing.
Nice.
Love the Joseph wrap coat! Thanks to a massive markdown, I was lucky enough to snap up this DVF wrap coat (similar in execution to your first suggestion) in bordeaux. And every day I’ve worn it I’ve received compliments.

Oh that Corner Office version!
I haven’t checked their coat selection recently, but I highly recommend Bluefly’s designer coat sales. A couple years ago I bought a beautiful ivory wool T Tahari wrap coat for under-$150 from Bluefly that regularly costs $500. It’s tricky to keep clean, but I get my Olivia Pope moments during the winter without an Olivia Pope budget.
