Suited Up

Let's all have a moment of silence for the distressed look. Patch up the holes in your oversized shredded tee and put your artfully destroyed jeans in storage, because this year we welcome a new woman into town. She's professional and clean cut, feminine but not old fashioned. And what's her new investment? THE SUIT.

I welcome the suit back with open arms. It reminds me fondly of exploring my mom's closet in high school and admiring her power suits from the early nineties. So respectable and strong!There are dozens of exquisite interpretations from this year to be seen and loved. Here are a few of my favorites.

Big Bear Hug

It already has a name - the "teddy bear" coat! It's ubiquitous on the runway for fall, in every color and length imaginable. Just another facet to the coziness of these Fall collections.
