"Though brilliantly sunny, Saturday morning was overcoat weather again, not just topcoat weather, as it had been all week and as everyone hoped it would stay for the big weekend--the weekend of the Yale game."
- J.D. Salinger, Franny and Zooey

Afternoon Match Blouse

I don't know why exactly but jackson, johnston, and roe's collection makes me think of Franny Glass. It might be the fact that they named the above style the "Afternoon Match Blouse" which reminded me of the opening of Franny and Zooey, but I kinda think it's more than that. I think there's something unintentionally youthful in the designs like a precocious young woman who's more serious than her year's warrant, dressed-up, "feminine" but still wearing her hair in the same ponytail she's worn all through highschool. She's a girl who spends a lot of time in libraries but doesn't yet know how to cook anything more elaborate than a grilled cheese sandwich.
