My 10 Best Purchases: Number Four

Oct 17, 2018

Every holiday season, I watch well-dressed women, strolling down the street, dressed to the nines, shivering like leaves.  Often, without a “cute” coat to wear, they just skip staying warm.  But what if there was a chic jacket to offer some protection from the cold nights?

Last year, I decided to buy a cape jacket.  I was looking for an alternative to the basic blazer to wear for date night, parties, etc..  I picked up this Lysse Cape Jacket ($148), and I love it.

Sometimes I put on a v-neck blouse and belt it over jeans.  It also looks great layered over this beaded pink slip dress for a chic party look.  Or try this incredible white sheath dress from Tahari (not to be missed).

Plus-size? Lysse’s jacket is available up to 2x.  Gravitas’s jacket is available in 3x.

    The link to the jacket appears to be broken. -ST-

    I’m normally anti-cape, but this is really cute and practical too! It has just the right amount of drama without being, what I perceive as, too much.

    Absolutely love this piece. Saving for it now…I’ve been looking for something that works just as nicely with casual outfits as with professional attire, now that I’m finally applying for jobs with a dress code that isn’t grad school chic (aka anything goes, ha).

Beauty Review: Bondi Boost

As I age, I notice many changes in my body. Most are fine. Some are frustrating. Like many women, I lost a lot of hair in my postpartum phase. Being anemic for more than a year after, it didn’t grow back in to its former glory. So I’ve tried any number of shampoos, pills and […]

The Find: Shirts That Don’t Gape

I remember when Rochelle Behrens launched The Shirt — a button-down blouse with anti-gape technology (a patented internal button that keeps the look smooth). The idea seemed brilliant, but at the time, my bust didn’t require an extra button. One baby later, I understand the need for some extra security.

The Mondays: March 18, 2024

This weekend was a tricky one. The warm weather and bright sunshine of last weekend disappeared in a flurry of wet snow trapping our very active 18-month-old in the house with us. Plus, our babysitter cancelled, so neither of us feels ready for the week ahead. But in between making mac-and-cheese and watching Aristocats for […]
