I Really Need a Caf-TAN

 Boy, do I adore this piece! It brings to mind something Elizabeth Taylor may have worn in the 60's. This is a linen caftan made in Morocco. I wish I could say I picked it up on my travels, but I'd never lie to you. I will get to that country eventually, but for now I can go to the Upper East Side boutique Five Story😂.

Linen is a tough fabric; it's know for wrinkling, but sometimes that aggravation is worth it. A linen dress is harder to stay un rumpled in, but a jacket is the perfect way to incorporate this fabric into your look. Just hang it up in the car or drape across your lap or shoulders until you need to put it on. Plus, a little worn in is cool anyway. I love the burgundy embroidery against the pinky salmon color. There's something so chic about the slim fit and length. This looks cool as it does here over jeans and a white tank, and it would look terrific over a white or black dress. Spring/Summer outerwear should be fresh and clean.

This pop of color is a statement unto itself. I'm obsessed with the Pucci scarf in my hair. I've attempted to do this several times, only to feel like an idiot. This time it worked, and added to the vintage glam mood. If putting a shmata on your head is too much for you,  no prob. Just freshen up classic warm weather basics with a bright, sleek jacket such as this. You'll be surprised how much it can elevate the everyday.
