I've got a bone to pick with this weather, ya'll. It's low-key messing with the bomb 'fits I have in mind! It's June and we've been having temps in the mid- and low 70's—How. Can. It. Be?! We've long chucked up deuces to bulky winter coats and we thought we were well on our way into a bikini-parading summer...but here we are. Thankfully, the forecast shows that we'll be in the 80s on-and-off again (LOL, I sound like a weatherwoman) but it's not enough to have us believing we can stunt in full confidence that we won't freeze later on in the day. Sure, I'm being dramatic but I say this all to say...we need some chic jackets so that we can fashionably run amok this summer...and well into the fall, obviously.

Rave Review: "I bought this jacket to take on vacation when nighttime temps in the 40s were expected in May.

It can be dressed up or down. I plan to wear it with a perfect T and walking shorts on warmer days. Beautiful. Great price right now, too!"
