FALL WISHLIST/ LUST-HAVES: JACKETS

by Jamila Pierre


If there's one thing you should've gathered by now (that is if you've been supporting, reading my blog, or catching up on Instagram), is that I'm all about some outerwear; give me a boss ass jacket or a flexin' ass coat over just about anything, any day. I'm not much of a minimalist per say, but I do love a piece that is transformative and can take you from homely to hot shit in one swoop. I love how effortless something as "simple" as outerwear can be and how you could literally roll out of bed looking like day old morning breath and throw on a jacket, and look like you brushed you brush your teeth after every meal and your bed head was 100% intentional. 

Ahhhhhh, the magic of those signature pieces that (don't mind me being cliche here) really do take you from drab to fab.

Jackets (much more than coats, though I really should get better at stocking up on coats in general) are the single most purchased article of clothing in my wardrobe, right next to jeans/pants (it used to be dresses...but we all go through phases). I could really do a whole video on the sheer ridiculousness of my collection, but I thought I'd share a list of some of the jackets I'm lusting after this season, from a variety of online retailers and at a variety of price points for all you fabulous consumers. Some of the jackets I already own or have tried and sent back (which doesn't deter from the piece's fabulosity, which is why I still listed them), making me able to speak first hand about some of the options listed. And even though I own some of the pieces and have not real reason to lust after them, because I own them, it hasn't stopped me from lusting after the appropriate weather to rock them in all their glory (hence the use of the term lust-have *coining it*).

So here's the list, please enjoy, and please understand that yes the list is long....but trust me it could be longer, LOL. Let me know down below or on the gram if you'd like me to do a part two.
