Back when I was living in Houston (circa 2011), I was introduced to Morgan Carper’s designs by my friend Brittany and fell for her pieces instantly. We had both launched our unique businesses (I had just started the blog, she had just launched her first collection), so it was the perfect time for us to meet! Her fabulous prints and attention to detail are immaculate, not to mention totally wearable, so you can imagine why I was so impressed. This spring, Morgan reached out hoping to send me something from her latest collection to style on the blog, and I didn’t hesitate for a second after I saw the Kismet jacket. The black and marled gray stripes, easy fit and drawstring waist called out to me. I got it in the mail last week and have worn it three times already! This jacket is a great travel piece because it doesn’t wrinkle, and it’s fun to style a bunch of different ways. Wear it open with a tank and shorts, or tighten the drawstring for a bit of a peplum effect over a dress – plus, who can say no to some waist-cinching action? It’s incredibly comfortable and practical – great for transitioning to spring and fall! Be sure to check out Morgan Carper’s entire spring/summer collection, and peruse her lookbook for fall. You don’t want to miss it!
