{muse of the moment} varsity jackets

I have never met a varsity jacket that I didn’t love. Don’t attribute this confession to an adoration of sports. Quite the contrary, in fact. I don’t know a football from a foosball; and, if I’m completely honest, I must admit that the only contact sport I’m truly well-versed in is that of sample sale shopping.

Nevertheless, since my playground days, I have been obsessed - ranking the varsity jacket right up there with sparkling {faux} diamonds and brilliant books and perfume packaged in pretty bottles. Lacking both athletic prowess or a boyfriend on the varsity team, however, essentially left my cravings unsatisfied. Until the design world was kind enough to seemingly take pity on un-sporty fashion folk like moi - serving up scores of glam pieces in every color of the rainbow - perfect for pairing with pumps and skinnies or pleated leather minis for Girls' Night Out.

I stalked snagged a Mint and Black marvel at Forever 21 over the holidays {which I am slowly wearing to death}; but now that I've spotted everyone from Hanneli Mustaparta to Taylor Swift to Liv Tyler wearing their ultra-covetable versions on the street, I'm thinking I may need to add fifty a few more to my collection. Go team?
