Gorgeous St. John jacket. St. John is my staple for business wear. It never wrinkles, packs beautifully, can easily be tailored for a perfect fit, lasts forever. The company has been doing beautiful tweed jackets for a number of years, and they have a much younger feel that the old flat knits. They’re very professional with dress slacks and blouse/shell, but also can dress down with jeans and a turtleneck.

And if the price tag is beyond your price point, take a look on Ebay, where you can get enormous discounts on both new and, if you’re a vintage shopper, “gently used” clothing. You can also do well at the St. John outlets, particularly when they have a sale. Remember, it’s the per-wearing cost that counts, and these really go the distance.

I’m loving the purple tweed but would like to see it at a lower price point!

Aww, don’t let one douchebag ruin your boots for you! Wear them after hours and ignore the sexist jerk offs.

I never thought I’d love a St. John jacket, at least not before I qualified for Medicare, but I LOVE this one! It isn’t even a possibility . .

As for over-the-knee boots, I bought a pair when I was in law school (mid- 90s) I was studying in the library one day, and a guy-friend classmate came in and tucked a five-dollar bill into the top of one. From then on they were known as the “five-dollar boots.” You can bet I will never be wearing over-the-knee boots again.

The Jacket: I love it- the color doesn’t make it look too frumpy, it looks like it would be a flattering fit, and tweeds are my fall staple. I think the only thing that I don’t particularly like is the steep price (and honestly to fork over almost $1300 kind of overrides the free S&H)

The Sweater (from ms.c): I think the color is very pretty, but I’m not sure if I like the styling of the sweater. I think it’s the sleeves that are throwing me off- I don’t like when they “cuff” near the wrists. I don’t mind the detailing around the neck so much- I think if the ruffles were centered the look would seem more frumpy; but when its to the side it’s a little more modern. Would I wear the color? Yes. Would I wear that exact sweater? Likely not. (I’m 28 btw)

The Boots (from Woman of Color and K): Knee-high boots are ok, but personally I think over-the-knee boots are a bit excessive, especially for a professional environment. And knee-high boots in neutral tones like browns and grays can be very flattering when paired well with the rest of the outfit. Boots don’t have to be exclusively black- there are oodles of other options

Anonymous: second vote here, on both the sweater (bland) and the jacket (better 3 or 4 fantastic jackets than any number of cheaperinos).

Thanks for all your comments on the sweater! For those of you who like it, you should check it out. I saw it in the store on the weekend and it is made of a really really soft cashmere – that was what I liked the most! =)
