Adrien: Oops.

So, I've been re-evaluating and purging with a goal in mind. Normally when I have one big thing I want to buy I'm able to be really focused. I returned most of the purchases I was hesitant about (sorry, Frye shoes) and wasn't too upset when the Ann Taylor trench sold out before I could re-buy it even cheaper. Eyes on the prize, yo.

But, when I was killing time in Old Navy last week (normally a store that doesn't tempt me) I stumbled across this:


It's internet-only and I'd had my eye on it for a long, long time. But it was never...quite cheap enough to tempt me. However, because this one was an internet return (in my size!), it was marked an additional 50% off the sale price. Yeah. It came home with me and I promptly wore it the entire next day. I haven't had a leather jacket in well over ten years! It's surprisingly nice too - soft washed leather,cool wide collar, fits just right.

Keep in mind: this is absolutely the wrong outfit to wear it with, but I wanted to show you guys anyway:


 

And my outfit, just for kicks:


 

dress: Target (similar)
necklace: Charming Charlie (super expensive similar version here)
shoes: Chie Mihara (Miz Mooz version here)
bag: Marc Jacobs Blake (similar)
jacket: Old Navy (similar cotton version here)

  7. Thanks! It's way cuter with jeans, but not too bad with a dress! I love it a lot.
