I don’t know why I have it in my head that “every woman should own a denim jacket” – I’m not sure that’s true. Especially not for me. I’ve had this jacket for nearly two years, and have only worn it 2-3 times. I think a denim jacket is one of those things that I like in theory, and on other people, but it doesn’t feel right on me…
Do you own a denim jacket? do you wear it all the time??
Hi!
I have the same skirt from Splendid, i love it!
You look nice with the denim jacket and long skirt combo!
I have the Current Elliott denim moto jacket in Black, i think it is more versatile than the usual denim jacket…i do not wear it often only bcs the weather here does not really allow….usually it’s either too warm or too cold for it!
However i am planning to buy also the Current Elliot snap button jacket, which i found on sale at http://www.yoox.com, which is a more classic denim jacket
This is why I love your blog so much. You say what I think a lot of us are thinking but don’t always voice. I feel like I SHOULD love my denim jacket. I always see in those articles:”10 items a woman MUST have in her closet” (or what happens???) that a denim jacket is a “must have” but then I never wear it that often. I think it looks adorable on you and it really does look like you, esp. with that outfit. But we come back to that point that it has to FEEL like you. And that’s where it loses me (it’s not cozy like a Splendid cardi).
see, i think if the jacket was black, or had leather sleeves, i’d like it/wear it more often. but then again, i don’t know. i’m more of a sweater girl when the weather cools down.
did you get anything from the outnet alexander wang sale??
yes, see, i always gravitate more towards cardigans than jackets – or at least this denim jacket specifically – but i would really like to wear jackets more often. maybe one of those “sweatshirt” blazers from the gap would be more my style…
I have a couple of them and they are SO comfy! I just don’t like feeling like I’m wearing something so structured. (even tho’ it probably would be more flattering to my figure)
I love the jacket. Wanna sell it to me? 🙂 Can’t hurt to ask, right?
No i did not get anything!!! 🙁
I was about to get the Diego bag, but it was in Chocolate brown, and i finally decided that i prefer the Black…there were the Diego and Rocco bags in Black patent leather, as well
Will wait another while for my first AW bag….the ones i like better are either the Donna hobo or the Lia sling bag
I feel exactly the same way! I see chambray and denim on other people and think “oh yes, that’s classic and great!” But truthfully I’m most comfortable in a blazer or cardigan. Like you, I also live in dresses (not necessarily James Perse dresses though you’ve turned me onto Splendid!) so I may not explore trends like brocade pants. Style is personal and if I know I will pull a lace cardigan or blazer over a denim jacket, I should just save the money!
xoxo,
yeah, the bags on sale weren’t the greatest. if you wait until end-of-season next season, you’ll be able to get the styles you want on sale…
so true. i struggle with that though – being certain in what I like and what looks good on ME as opposed to what i like on other people…
it never hurts to try a “trend” or something you like on others, but if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work!!
