If you’ve perused any of the street style from the various fashion weeks, you would have seen the wear-a-jacket-as-a-cape look. It’s a very retro-chic, don’t you think? I’ve been dying to wear this Vanessa Bruno coat since I bought it on sale at My-Wardrobe last season, and it’s finally cool enough! The coat is very light, so it’s totally appropriate for the slight chill in the evenings in Dallas and serves as an excellent transition piece for both fall and spring.

PS: How much do you love this Kate Spade brushtroke clutch? The clasp is a paint brush! Genius.
