Look what the delivery person brought today! It's that lovely jacket from a few posts down. Please forgive my crappy self-portrait skills. The jacket's not as bright a metallic as the website pic (whew!) and probably needs to be pressed a bit. The sleeves are actually cuffed, which doesn't really come across in the original image. The lining is a really cool abstract print. The overall feeling is of a very girly trench, un peut Francais et trés chic! I ordered a size up from my normal on the advice of the online chat lady, and am glad I did. It's cut fairly voluminously, but fits me well through the shoulders. And it's got the Drama in the Back, which unfortunately I'm not enough of a contortionist to photograph. It's a keeper!
so fabulous! I love this coat! It's got my sensible Burberry trench beat by far!
ReplyDeleteif it's not too pushy, I'd love to have you stop by my blog to see what you think about my meditation on (not) buying a pair of Louboutin heels in Paris this spring. Although our lifestyles seem fairly different, judging from what I see on your blog, I love your style aesthetic and see some shared values, especially in another woman of a certain age (I'm a certain few years older than you, 54)
Thanks! Not pushy at all, and I'm incredibly flattered. I'll be right over.
ReplyDeleteLoved your comments on my site -- thank you. You probably stopped by before I added a link to your site; you're a recent read for me since I discovered you via Manolo's Shoe Blog -- you'll get far fewer visitors directed your way through my site than through Manolo exposure!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! You did it, and it's perfect. I also love your (is that strawberry blonde? dim lighting) short do.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dana. It's actually more of an auburn with blonde highlights now, but yes, much shorter than in my jardins pic.
