I saw this on the sale rack & really liked it but put it back initially. The truth is that the shape wasn't the most flattering for me, the belt was missing & I really don't wear jackets unless it is actually cold out (and then they need to be actually warm). I ended up coming across it again & snapped it up this time.
The piece in question is a French Cuff denim trench style jacket with bracelet length sleeves.
Below is my birthday dinner outfit. The casualness of the jacket toned down my silk dress nicely I thought. I did end up wearing black leggings to complete the ensemble, since it was a little chilly & I just wanted to be cozy, even though I preferred it without them.
Below is my voting outfit. I didn't actually plan to wear red, white & blue, believe it or not. I was actually trying out the plaid trend with a new headband & wanted to be comfy for standing in line at the polls, hence the sneakers.
This is my please hire me outfit. Just kidding. I picked up an application from Marshall's while wearing it though. I could definitely use a part time job to supplement the income & pay down some debt. I would love to be debt free sometime in the near future. I know people that have done it & I am definitely inspired by that.
So, despite my misgivings, I have already worn this several times. It hangs on my closet door & is a really easy layer to throw on right now. I really love the easy shape but I should probably find a belt to add some shape to it. Then it might be the perfect piece - flattering & comfortable!
