Beautiful.
Yes. Call me pathetic, but an expensive jacket always makes me feel more confident.
It’s only available in a 4. Which is good, ‘cuz I might have actually bought it otherwise and now I don’t have to have that talk with my husband about how, “yes, I did need a $975 blazer”
It’s gorgeous!!
But… Does anyone make a less indulgent knockoff? I want, want, want to, but I just can’t justify a jacket in the amount of a law school loan payment…
A few weeks ago a Boden blazer was featured. I think that one comes in gray and it was $150 or so.
Gorgeous, I love the look, color, and fit. I just can’t justify spending that much amount of money on a piece of jacket :(
Le sigh, indeed. Oh how I wish I could justify spending that much on it.
I want to go to there. I want it in my closet. I am a poor graduate and cannot afford it. Any other thoughts on knock-offs?
I am completely all about the jacket. Whether you call it tuxedo or dinner jacket:). Silver lame. Taupe canvas. Armani. Chanel. Vintage. Levis….And that one you’ve got here is plain and simple killer. I want to kiss it.
