WARM AND FASHIONABLE

Happy Monday everyone! It looks like winter has finally decided to show its teeth. I love snow but I hate cold. Unfortunately, to have snow then I have to endure cold weather. Fortunately for me, I found the perfect way to stay warm, looks fashionable, and not have a lot of bulk. I hate wearing a coat. If you have been reading my blog for any length of time you have heard me say that more than once. However, I am cold natured so I am always on the lookout for items that I can wear instead of a big coat. Purple Poppy reached out to me the other day about doing a post. She mentioned how responsive my readers were and that she loved working with me. That was so nice to hear, I tell everyone how much I love my readers.She mentioned that she had just received this jacket and was wondering if I thought it was something you gurls would like. I immediately responded, “What’s not to like?” When the package with this Last Tango jacket came I was thrilled. This jacket is MUCH nicer and prettier in person than pictures can show. It looks purple in some shots, but it’s black. Black is really hard to photograph and sometimes details do not show up well so I brightened the pictures to help. It helped with the details but it might have messed with the coloration. Not that I’m above wearing purple and red, but that’s for another post. 🙂The neckline of the jacket is rounded and it has a large one button closure at the top. I like the one button closure because it lets the jacket flow in a swing style. A style like this is flattering to most since it skims over any bumps and lumps that you might have. The single pleat accent gives it a stylish look even from the back. Also, a pleat allows the jacket to have some give and doesn’t make you feel like you are all bound up.Notice the large cuff on the 3/4 sleeves. It is small details like this that make an item special. I also look for pockets in jackets. Occasionally I will put my cell phone is my pockets but mostly I just like the look. This is a longer silhouette and I think that looks dressier. You can wear this length jacket with dresses or jeans. I can see wearing this to a Christmas party, church, or when you are going out on a date night. This jacket looks “special” and way more expensive than it is.This jacket looks like suede but it is washable. I looked at the fabric content and the label says 95% polyester and 5% spandex. It had me at washable. Lol! This jacket fits me perfectly. I would say that it runs true to size. I am wearing a large which is my normal size. Purple Poppy is one of my favorite stores and I have never gotten anything that I was not pleased with and felt comfortable recommending. You CAN NOT go wrong with this gorgeous Last Tango jacket!!!
