What I Wore: 5.17.10 // Float
I haven’t been buying many new clothes lately but when I spotted the Quail Florette Bomber in the latest Urban Outfitters catalog, I had to have it. In the spring and summer, I tend to trade in a lot of my black layers for grays and whites and this coat is the perfect weight for Portland’s intermittent drizzly and overcast weather this time of year. Since I got it last week, I’ve worn it every day – I love avant garde clothing, but also want it to be easy to throw on and go, which this is.
Up until now, I knew nothing about Q U A I L – but Urban Outfitters says that it was “founded in 2008 by Los Angeles-native Michelle Williams” and “is devoted to classic silhouettes and playful textures.”
Why the Title Float?
When I was wearing this jacket the other day around two guys, they both decided that it reminded them of a “float in a parade.” I totally get the resemblance!

I’m totally in love with the colours in your outfit. I’ve been evolving into a gray, white and black wardrobe (mostly gray) with some pops of colour here and there so I’m totally loving this one.
The jacket totally looks like part of a float.

Wow that’s gorgeous! I love weird texture/patterned stuff in very normal shapes. I wonder if they’ll sell it in the UK UO; probably not.

I have a skirt that is made in a similar way, really love it. It’s something that’s pretty hard to make yourself, these items should be treasured.
