I'm With the Band


Confession: Lynnie and I are reformed bank geeks. Yes, it's true. I and my fashionable cohort spent many grade school hours practicing the tune, "Three Blind Mice," on our respective saxophone and clarinet. But, being both non-committal and not musically inclined, we both quit our instruments by the time we reached junior high school.


That said, we've been feeling a bit nostalgic for our pre-fab pasts in light of this season's go to item -- the band jacket. Both a comfortable piece of outerwear and a high-fashion design, the band jacket has been popping up on runways and in magazines as the must have item for spring. Lynnie and I love Juicy Couture's cotton version (above), but at $298.00, we aren't ready to invest so much cash into what may be a temporary trend.


Instead, we're opting for Urban Outfitter's very similar linen version (above), priced at a much more affordable $68.00.


Perfect for those of us who can't commit.
