mango, $129

On those mornings when I have less than five minutes to get dressed, I always reach for an outfit-making piece that doesn't need much else, apart from a simple pair of pants and a top. This leather-trimmed, fringed (love!) boucle statement jacket (on sale through November 21!) fits the bill--and then some.
