Talbot's Collection, $329 (and is 30% off with discount code right now). You could even replace those plastic buttons with gold for a a luxe vintage look...Edited to add: I happed to pass by Talbot's today and stopped in to check this out. What the picture doesn't show (ahem!) is that there's some metallic threading in the pattern, which I happen to like. The fabric is very intricate overall, and this jacket is a piece that would carry an outfit. The buttons are, as I feared, disappointing, but could be replaced. With the 30% discount and some Appreciation Dividends that have been languishing on my account for a while, I could land this baby for under $200. They're holding one for me while I mull it over, will post pics if I decide to get it. (Note to Duchesse - the plaids do match.)

Anyone know why it's called Black Friday?
ReplyDeleteThe buttons are often the weak link in Talbots' pieces. If all that plaid lines up nicely, it's a good buy!
Duchesse - it is called Black Friday because generally retailers have been operating in the "red" all year and today is the day they make enough sales to put them in the "black." In old timey handwritten ledgers, I am told, deficits were written in red ink and profits in black ink.
ReplyDeleteFriday ( yesterday) here was celebrated here as the- Don´t buy anything day!
ReplyDeleteMetscan - we have some here too who go that way (Buy Nothing Day). I didn't buy much,, just a holiday gift for DH, and replaced some face cream. :-)
