The Cropped Trench

Hi everyone, hope you are having a great week. I would like to start the blog by commemorating Oscar de la Renta, one of my all time favorite designers. I am deeply saddened by his passing. This great fashion icon and inspiration led me to live in this wonderful city of NY I now call home. RIP ODLR.

As the temperature gets noticeably chillier, I imagine there aren't many more bare leg days to go before having to put on stockings and knee high boots to keep warm. While we are still in this relatively mild and breezy weather, I wasted no time in enjoying my short trench jacket. I absolutely adore them and try to wear them as much as I can during transitional seasons.

Trench jackets are just perfect for this time of the year where you discover summer is really behind us, and one layer of clothing is no longer sufficient as you head out the door in the morning (also see posts here and here). They are such classic and versatile pieces that never go out of style.

This fall, I invested in this little number. I think of her as the little sister to the full trench :P Short, cropped and 'fresh-faced', yet, still a timeless piece to keep in the closet for many years to come.

I hope you are enjoying fall weather and getting excited for Halloween!
