Deal of the Day: Tibi’s Wool Blend Peacoat Sweater
I am an unabashed Pringle of Scotland fan, but as a general rule, it remains stubbornly and agonizingly out of my budget. 
On the other hand, this Tibi peacoat sweater is oh-so-much more wallet friendly, and definitely has that “avant-garde goes on a fox hunt” Pringle feel. I love the mottled brown-purple hue, nubby contrast knit sleeves and double-breasted brass button front, but mostly, the overwhelming preppiness of it all.
Currently on sale at $198 (originally $440).

Daily Obsession: Striped Blazers

For a year-round nautical look or a summery piece that’s office appropriate, try a striped blazer.

$100 and Under






A single button closure and hidden red contrast details are perfect finishing touches on this jersey blazer by Boden.
$98


















Caslon’s Knit Blazericon keeps it casual with cropped sleeves and a relaxed fit. $58
















So nautical it practically shouts ‘ships ahoy!’ at you, this Coldwater Creek seersucker jacket includes a built-in rope belt. $44.99 (orig. $129; save an additional 30% with code 30FORYOU)










The Mid-Rangers

This was my personal striped blazer purchase and I luuurrrvvveee it, especially with the textured metallic bottom. Unfortunately the designer, Waverly Grey, currently only has a Facebook page, and extensive internet digging did not turn up an online retailer (although I did find this other fab striped blazer of theirs). If it’s looking like a must-have for you, let me know, and I’ll petition them on your behalf.
