[Vanity Fair] Jill Stuart Sasha Coat

Jill Stuart Sasha Coat, American Apparel Multi-Layered Reversible Petticoat, American Apparel Large Leather Carry-All Pouch, and Alexander Wang Constance Ankle Boots.

A few years back, I made it a point to purchase one nice cold weather coat for myself each fall/winter season. In 2007, I picked up the above Sasha Coat from Jill Stuart in Soho. Of all of the coats that I own, Jill Stuart's Sasha swing coat is one of my favorites. The coat is so easy to wear, whether for day, with a pair of jeans and flat boats or for night, with a dress, tights, and heels. I love the military inspired button detail, as well as the evocation of a dress. 

Jill Stuart's Fall 2007 Ready-To-Wear was one of my favorite collections (you may recall the Brigitte Bardot via Lindsay Lohan ad campaign). The Fall 2007 RTW collection was my first formal introduction to the designer Jill Stuart, who definitely played to my fashion sensibilities. The collection was replete with Peter Pan collar shift dresses, copious amounts of black and navy, large round button accents, leather trims that would have made Wednesday Addams proud. I haven't purchased my cold weather coat for this fall/winter season as yet, but I will certainly be combing the racks at Jill Stuart for my next great piece.
