TUNIC DRESS X TOPSHOP















I found this graphic tunic dress during a recent girls getaway weekend with my cousins in New York.  We hit Topshop in SoHo and I couldn't resist this basic.  I wanted to try it with a moto jacket (in this look) and also plan to see how it looks with booties, converse, sandals, belted, and layered with a vest or cardigan.  Remember to experiment to get the most mileage out of the staples in YOUR closet!

My favorite part of this look is the bag.  This is my own vintage Coach duffle, which I have kept for 18 or 20 years, despite considering tossing it several times.  And I am glad I did, because Coach was noticing that women wanted a return to their classic leather bags, and a decrease in demand for their PVC fashion bags adorned with the signature "C" fabric.  As a result, they reintroduced several iconic bags from the 70s and 80s in their Coach Classics Collection.  Learn more in this interesting article about Coach from the Wall Street Journal online.   While the new bags are a bit different from the original (lighter weight due to thinner leather; lined instead of raw leather inside), the great news is you can once again own one of your old faves if you have thrown yours away!

Happy styling!
