Current Obsession: Silk Trophy Jackets

I've become obsessed with silky, flowy tops and dresses lately, so it makes sense that my obsession would grow into a full-fledged mania upon seeing all of the "trophy jackets" popping up on runways [and on the Topshop site, where they now have their own category!]. I love the sequins, embroidery, buttons, and general embellishments of the new jackets for Summer '09, but my favorite has to be the loose-fitting, large-lapel silk versions. These have a casual, comfortable elegance that I am loving right now...
