Sharyn GreensteinFashion stylists often say that the third piece or top layer completes every look, and I definitely agree. Adding a punch of color to your outfit in a jacket or cape in an autumnal color will add style punch and a boost in confidence as you walk out the door. This fall, we are seeing outerwear in beautiful shades of sage green, mustard yellow, copper brown alongside plaids and buffalo checks.
Now that we have turned the calendar to November, it might time to consider adding a new jacket, cape or shawl to your closet. Because who can ever have too many jackets? Certainly not us BA50’s!
