From the Moschino catwalk to the shoulders of celebrities like Kate Moss and the fashion blogosphere, the bolero jacket is back in frilly and fun variations.
The thing that is so cool with boleros is that you can wear them with nearly everything, funking up your style or dressing up smart depending on the occasion.
I love the little frilly ones from Karla’s Closet—they would make a lovely look for this summer worn with little tops and jeans or just over cute dresses.
