Windy Day Jacket

Boxy, smushy jackets that say things like “great for blocking wind” are usually not my thing. Especially not in “moss green.” But I think I must have been in a mushy pea mood when I was getting ready to go to Scotland this past August. I saw this Windy Day Jacket (that’s its official name!) by Madewell and snapped it up.

Here is why a boxy pea green jacket is sometimes a good thing in a wardrobe:

1) It de-girlifies my penchant for florals and lace. It’s like pitching an army tent in your grannie’s living room, home to multiple chintz couches and doilies. Instant eccentric granny chic.

2) This Windy Day Jacket is actually perfect for windy days. The weave on the jacket is so tight, I don’t even feel a baby breeze.

3) It’s not as trendy as this season’s ubiquitous/popular parka, more like its less popular (but equally adorable) cousin.

Oh! And it’s on sale at Shopbop.
