Not too hot, not too cold...

I headed out this morning to take my kids to school and felt just a little chilly in a long linen blouse belted over jeans. Coming back in from that quick trip in the car, I heard on the radio that it was 59 degrees — so that’s why I felt a little too cold. I could have really used an extra layer on top, but sometimes it’s a little hard to know exactly what to wear so that you’ll be warm enough early in the morning (and in the later afternoon and evening) but not too hot when the mercury rises during the middle of the day.

Perfect jacket for summer, then fall...

I went with a client to Anthropologie this morning and although we didn’t get a ton of stuff, I think we were both happy with what she got.

At $188, it would be a superb purchase for the money — it has tons of beautiful details, a gorgeous print lining, tie belt, covered zipper and above all the wonderful ruffle around the collar. It’s feminine, but if you’re the kind of woman who thinks she hates ruffles, it’s not over-the-top ruffly. I could see a lot of different types of women wearing it. And I love the idea of it over a dress but you could easily see it with a lacy black cami and dark jeans and heels for night.
