Fall's Best Fashion Find: The Mirabel Jacket


What does this coat have to do with the NFL? Read on to find out...
 
In a departure for me, I am very interested in the NFL. Every few years this happens. NFL players start acting like soap opera stars, and suddenly I’m engrossed in the pigskin. Wow, that sounds kind of dirty. But you know what I mean.

What has my interest lately is the bullying scandal featuring Miami Dolphins players Richie Incognito and Jonathan Martin. One of them allegedly bullied the other. When is it bullying? When is it life? So many questions.

Here’s the other thing I’m obsessed with these days: sweater coats. Every year there are 3 things that happen to me in fall: daylight savings, Halloween candy binges and new coat lust.

This year I’m all about the sweater coat. Because it’s a winter wardrobe’s most versatile piece. You wouldn’t want to walk the dog in it, but if you’re running errands around town, and you need a cute jacket to take the edge off, a sweater coat is just the thing!

You can throw it on over a basic, long-sleeve t-shirt and suddenly you look stylish with minimal effort!

Anthropologie has got some really cute ones these days. I’m either hot or cold on Anthro – I either love all their stuff or hate all their stuff. This season, it’s “love”. Here’s their cutest sweater coat: the Mirabel jacket. It’s also available in burgundy, which is the color I’d go for, instead of the cream. It retails for around $148.(Click this link to go to Anthropologie to see the Mirabel jacket.)

Spendy? Yes. But if you wear it a few times a week for the next few fall/winters, it will be your smartest purchase this season.

I got my last sweater coat from Anthro 5 years ago and still wear it. Now that’s style with endurance. So basically the sweater coat is the NFL athlete of outerwear, soap opera hijinks not included.
