So, I know this seems a bit ridiculous to be wanting a lightweight cotton jacket right now, but hear me out: the fall/spring light jacket-wearing seasons are so short that it just doesn’t make sense to wear a cotton jacket solely for those seasons. What I propose is to get the Fab Casual Jacket , $17.50, and start wearing it now. You can definitely fit a thin cashmere sweater underneath, and it adds an extra chic layer in these terribly frigid temperatures. Choose from six fabulous colors (my three favorites are above!). Add $5.95 for s&h.

I’ll admit it — even though I like Jason Wu, he was totally off of my radar for this one. Not one of my top five picks made it, but that’s okay -Isabel Toledo is fabulous and I appreciate The First Lady picking the incredibly talented designer, along with Mr. Wu. People have been dissing the pale yellow inauguration dress, but I think close-up it is stunning. For the inauguration ball, the Jason Wu gown had a very of-the-moment one shoulder cut, but wasn’t too tight or revealing. The First Lady is proving that she has a discerning eye for the perfect mixture of classic meets contemporary style, and isn’t afraid to try out new designers. Brava for Michelle Obama!

I’ve been on the search for cute boyfriend jeans. Ok ok I know, it may sound like an oxymoron since their supposed to be rugged and baggy, but still — humor me. After looking at many retailers’ versions of boyfriend jeans, I’ve settled on the Charlie Low-Rise Boyfriend Jean, for $49.50 at deLiA’s.
It has the right worn in details, the perfect shade of blue denim, and the slouch fit that can be balanced out by a fitted button-down shirt or tee. Plus, right now its buy one pair of jeans, get one 50% off at deLiA’s, and don’t forget to search for a coupon code to also apply to your order, like “WINTER”, which will get you 15% off your order. Not too shabby!

Forgot about black or brown shoes for the rest of the season; spruce things up a bit with these teal cut-out heels –the Seychelles Compliment Shoe, $90 at jbandMe.com. Pair these suede vintage-inspired pumps with some black or whtie opaque tights, a pencil or mini skirt, and a bow-tie blouse.
