When You Know You’ve Found “The One”!

Hey everyone! Have you ever slipped your arm into a jacket and realized you had found the one? Let me tell you, it doesn’t happen that often, but I definitely felt that when I tried this jacket on.

I’ve been looking for a jean jacket for several years now. Either they’re tight in the arms, or don’t have much stretch to move in, or they’re cropped too short, etc, etc, etc. Yes, I do try a lot of clothing items on (it’s my job now!) so I can tell right away if something is going to fit or not, just by putting one arm in the sleeve. When I put my arm in this sleeve, I just let out a long ahhhhhhh!

It even has enough stretch to button if I ever desired to do such a thing! It’s from the Liz Claiborne brand from JC Penney and available in a darker blue here, light blue here, tall here and crazy on sale now.

I decided to mix this outfit up with dressy items and casual items. This skirt is such a fun skirt but because it has the glitter it can be overwhelming for everyday wear. I thought I could tone it down a bit with the jean jacket and at the same time dress up the jacket. The skirt is a couple of years old from White House Black Market and though looks structured, has a nice waistband that fits and doesn’t slide down. I think I will stop in there soon and check out some newer versions. Stay tuned!

A jean jacket is a classic. It’s like tall boots. I think they’re here to stay and I have already worn this jacket a couple of times this week with our mild February weather, and I still think it’s “the one”!

Just a quick reminder about the invitation to my blog birthday party for all you ladies. This weekend would be a good opportunity to snap a picture in the mirror or ask a nearby relative to take a quick one. Right now it’s looking like a soiree rather than a party but I’m looking forward to all of your RSVP’s to be rolling in! You do have some time (March 18) so I’ll be sure to remind you a couple more times! Have a wonderful weekend!

Linking up with these ladies with JoLynne Shane!

  1. Thanks for the tip! I’ve been looking for a jean jacket, too, and this sounds like it will tick all the boxes.

  2. The jeans jacket is a fashion classic and I’m delighted that you’ve found your dream fit. I love that you’ve paired it up with this black skirt in that whole dressing up/dressing down way.
    I’ve linked through to your blog today in my latest post. You asked to see some more of the island so I’ve put some new images up for you and my readers to see – thanks for the suggestion.
    Have a fab weekend x
