Beautiful or Bizarre? | Elizabeth and James Hooded Jacket
Though there’s no doubt that I absolutely adore MK and Ashley Olsen — well, more Ashley than MK, but that’s another matter — I’ve yet to find a piece from their Elizabeth and James line that I really love. There are dresses I almost like, skirts I might wear, and jackets like this one.
This Elizabeth and James hooded design looks chic with the hood down; it wears like a classic silk shawl collar jacket. I actually like the panel-like collar, the bracelet sleeves, and the banded cuffs.
The taupe colour is spring/summer-appropriate, as is the pure silk material and the fact that the jacket isn’t lined. While it’s worn loose in the photo, I’d cinch the waist with a skinny belt.
What do you ladies make of this hooded design?

I like it…Not something I could wear just cuz I spend all day at home…but it’s cute. Couldn’t wear the color either without looking like a ghost. But the jacket’s shape is different but still rather classy and cute.
Hope,
You are a very talented gal. Keep the fashion coming. l would love to see more shoe and purse ideas with summer just around the corner. Ada
Dear MK hater,
I’m no lady but I could see it as snazzy outerwear. For some reason the draping style of the hood reminds me of National Geographic’s Afghan Girl photo. Stylish but not timeless.
