Pie and Fortune had a minor crisis earlier this week: we both realized we were woefully short on casual Spring outerwear. Fortune purged her closet last fall, and Pie gave hers the same treatment only a few short weeks ago. We each have an adorable trench to get us through the work week, but what about weekends or a pants outfit we can dress down? True to our standards, we set out to find the perfect piece. Our one requirement? A hood. Nothing beats Spring showers like a hood- who cares about a sprinkle when your head is dry?
Pie opted for a more military vibe, looking at options in khaki and olive hues.
Fortune was feeling the need for something more vibrant. A Sam Edelman treasure was woefully disqualified due to lack of hood. There was much despair.
The pursuit continued, and was fruitful, but Fortune still wasn't sure she wanted to spend upwards of a hundred dollars on an anorak.
Maybe Target or JC Penney could save the day?

Sam Edelman Colorblock Utility Jacket, Nordstrom;
Laundry Packable Anorak, Nordstrom; Safari Pocket Annorak, Nordstrom;
'Scarlet' Roll Sleeve Jacket, Nordstrom;
Mossimo Women's Anorak, Target; Xersion Anorak Jacket, JC Penney.
Ultimately, Fortune selected Vince Camuto's 'Scarlet' Roll Sleeve Jacket and Pie went for the Freestyle Utility Parka. Perhaps now, with hooded practicality safely in tow, a little whimsy can win the day? I'm watching you, Sam Edelman Colorblock Utility Jacket! May we meet again at a sale sometime soon.
