As a lifelong Chicagoan, I’ve learned it’s never too early to start thinking about outerwear. After all, while the weather is still warm, the temps always seem to take a quick turn. It’ll be Halloween before we know it! 🙂 One of my fave brands for outerwear? J Crew. Friends, a J Crew coat is truly an essential for a woman’s closet. Plus, their jackets won’t break the bank.
