Mar-a-Cargo

It's that time of year when the light jacket is a must have. The wool has been put away but you still need something in the early mornings and early evenings. I really love the cargo jacket this season because it's got an effortless feel that even the jean jacket can't match.

A feminine military jacket that looks great with a silk scarf.

Shoptiques, Cals Collection Brushed Canvas Jacket, $49

I love this jacket. The stand up collar, the scrunched sleeve hem, simple.

Macy's, American Rag Cropped Cargo Jacket, $59

Button back sleeves, a punchy spice color, what more do you need?

A lightweight jacket for spring comes in so many shapes and styles. I like the cargo jacket for it's simplicity and comfort.

The Young and The Collarless

Sometimes the weather gets wacky. You know what I mean, it's 72 degrees at lunchtime and then in then evening comes along and your shivering. I hear ya. What to do? We're way past winter coat season but owning 684 pashminas isn't really cost effective either. Try this trend: the collarless jacket. It's simple, chic and easy to throw on and go.
