Chiffon Trench

It's been pretty rainy here, and while I love a trench for rainy weather, it's not always suitable. It's been hot and humid, so to get the look and beat the weather, I chose a chiffon trench from the H&M Conscious Collection to wear today.

I've been loving this crop top all summer. The embroidery is beautiful, and paired with high-waisted jeans, it only shows a very modest amount of skin.

A chiffon jacket is one of those perfect transitional and/or layering pieces. The lightweight fabric is perfect for slightly chilly evenings, or when you don't know what the weather will be like later on in the day. I live in a city where our weather is temperamental, and one minute it's nice a sunny, and the next it'll be pouring. Or perhaps it'll be cloudy and look like it's about to rain, but the rain just never comes. 

I've been wearing this jacket, as well as another lightweight trench the entire week. They've both proved their worth at GlobalFest, which has been battling the rainy weather and persevering. While my family made a makeshift tent out of a tarp and umbrellas (you can see it on my instagram here), this coat has been keeping me warm despite the cooler temperatures. Calgary never gets a warm rain, when it rains, you need something to cover up in lest you catch a cold.
