  1. I love these variations of the shawl/wrap! Definitely one of the most versatile staples for the Fall/Winter season! My favorites are probably the Haider Ackermann and the McQueen ones, but I adore all the different colorful styles as well. If only I could have them all...

    Hope you're having a fab week so far!

    Love the 'Marc by Marc Jacobs parker tartan wrap coat'.
    And the Ralph Laurens very nice, very Aristo meets 'Oliver' (as in the Charles Dickens orphan).

  26. I love this post! It is so unique. I had no idea how often blankets are used in editorials or even substituted as shawls or outer wear. So fab!
    (Now I don't feel silly about bringing a blanket to movie theaters. It's in fashion! Hehe).

  28. Such an elegant look; happy to see this come back in.

    I like all of these, but that French Connection dress is my favorite. On-trend, fun, and flattering is a difficult style trifecta to achieve, but there it is.

  36. I have been working the blanket statement for years. I have a down number in a queen size. I have a pink acrylic throw that I like to wear as a Moses style robe and I have a chenille throw with fringe that I wear in the evenings.;-)
    But seriously, what is not to love. Clothes that make one look chic and allow for comfort are the best of both worlds.
