Spring coverup


Designer Yvonne Koné in her Mads Norgaard coverall jacket


A denim work jacket is what I have in mind for spring like the one worn by Danish designer Yvonne Koné.

I've been quite attracted to the work version rather than the standard jacket (which I already have) - without the mildly useful 2 breast buttoned pockets but actual front pockets I can easily shove my hands/ iPhone/ metro card into.

I would like soft but not paper thin denim in a medium wash or raw indigo blue with an oversize longer cut - to cover part of my bum- and generous pockets.

Ideally, it would be this old Acne jacket...

I'd counterbalance the utilitarian non-descript style of the jacket with my favorite combinations of basics: loose clothes, shots of color, a bit of Dutch wax/batik prints, a prim dress -to dress it up and flats.

  2. Haha! Your story totally echoes mine!! I've been stalking all the online second hand stores for that Acne jacket (called the "Brancusi"). Let's join in a prayer so that Acne reproduces it again!
    Truly appreciate your kind words about the blog!

  3. Ugh that Acne denim jacket has been on my radar for so long, but I missed the original season and it never seems to come up used anywhere. Seeing you post it just brought back all my desire!

    1. I wish I wasn't so hung up on things there's one in a million chance for me to get... Just can't help looking for that jacket after all this time.
