Seeking: A Vegan Jacket for a Winter Bride


Hey girl hey,

I have some time, but I need your fashion help! I'm getting married in January in Dallas. The weather could be 60 degrees or 20 degrees, who knows. I need a jacket that I can wear that will sustain my body heat whatever temp it may be outside. (I'm not getting married outside, just taking some pics and walking to and from the car, so this doesn't need to be anything too intense). Here's my dress.

My colors are sapphire (to match my engagement ring, duh) and gold, so I was thinking maybe a gold or sapphire sequin jacket? Or is that too much with the sparkly (for lack of a better term...please help me find a better term) for the top of the dress? Maybe a rich velvet? Am I getting into tacky territory?

Oh, and I'm vegan, so no wool or silk por favor...and fur goes without saying.

Much as I love sparkle, I must firmly steer you away from SPARKLE-ON-SPARKLE.

I want to say get a big beautiful gauzy scarf.


This 100% linen Giada Forte scarf is currently half off at Otte.

Or check in on Scout & Catalogue in the fall.


Her soft pink cotton gauze scarf isn't quite the right color, but it's definitely the right idea.

AM I CRAZY? Can this girl wear a linen/cotton wrap with a silk satin wedding dress?

And why did she go nazi vegan halfway through the wedding planning?
