Great Lengths

Yesterday's focus was the knee-length coat. Today, we go long and luxurious, darlings: Floor Grazing Toppers! Both the fall and spring runways were brushed by Designer coattails. Behold, the beauty of the duster! The looks range from boudoir bodacious to apres-ski sleek to street chic....

CC saves the best for last: a voluminous yet ethereal Zac Posen confection for Spring 2009.

The only trouble is . . . CC can’t seem to find any of these beauties in stores.

Have any of my Fellow Fashionistas seen floor length toppers in their favorite shops? If so, do tell!

Hope you've all had a wonderfully relaxing weekend. See you tomorrow!
