Utilities Included

Looks from the Utility Collection available at Gap.com

Gap's new Utility collection for spring is one of those things that FB&F loves : on-trend designs made by a company whose quality you trust at a price that works for our very little pocketbooks.
The key pieces of the collection - cargo pants, military sweaters, camp skirts - are great updates on classics that are perfect for work or weekend when paired with great heels or flats and a button down or cardigan. Patrick Robinson, Head of Design at Gap, has made a little video about each of the key pieces, so if you have a minute check them out on Gap.com.

My favorite piece is the green anorak jacket below. I can imagine this coat, which The Cut describes as "epitomizing this season’s relaxed, effortless style," making a seamless transition into my closet and my list of spring favorites. I want to keep my overall look feminine, so I would pair this with short skirts, pretty dresses, soft scarves, and lots of jewelry.
Military anorak, $79.50 at Gap.com

Plus having this jacket in my closet, would give me the opportunity to echo a look that one of our Style Sources, Sylvana Soto-Ward, wore to the office one day in the Vogue.com article Five Days, Five Looks, One Girl.
