Wearing this trench coat over this little bralet is the perfect combo of party inside/business out front. When I feel sassy, I let it all hang out and this silky trench flows perfectly out behind me, cape-like, leaving civilians to gasp, "Was it a bird? Was it a plane?...'
No, it's just Jess, tripping everywhere. Which is exactly what happened when I realised the sash of this perfect Nasty Gal trench had been dragging on the ground, courtesy of a local bro at the pub with a fag hanging out of his mouth: "YOUR STRING IS ON THE GROUND", he yells. Turn around, trip over. Story of my life. I feel sassy and in reality I am the furthest thing to sassy. Anyway, this trench is perfect for pretending to be graceful, shady business and quickly covering up when you realise that walking past packed pubs in a tiny bralet isn't doing anybody favours.
I can predict I'm going to end up lounging around the house in this trench. It is my favourite thing in my closet right now, and have already begun a list of things I shall do while wearing it. For example, peeking suspiciously over sunglasses around corners at nothing in particular, turning and throwing it around dramatically after a verbal throwdown, using it to cover my face and flee the next time I do something embarrassing.
Even better - it's from Nasty Gal, and they're now launching in Australia. We're part of the gang now, and you can hang out on their special Australian website from May the 20th.

You know that hilarious moment after people trip, they stare at the ground behind them accusingly like it wasn't their lack of coordination that tripped them, rather it was the ground's fault? Yup, that's the story of my life. If I had a biography this photo would be on the cover.
