When I first put on this coat, Dave immediately demanded that Siri play “Witchy Woman.”  I get it. Dramatic bell sleeves on a noir coat can conjure up visions of spellbinding sorceresses. However, I think it looks more like a playful topper for a cocktail dress when paired with a major piece of jewelry and less like an eight-month-early Halloween costume! Although, if it can double as both, well, that’s a win in my book! Even though the sleeve detail didn’t get quite the reaction I expected, I’m not shying away from the trend for spring. I think it’s a fun way to update an otherwise boring silhouette and I especially love it on floral blouses like this one and this one.
