| Well, what was formerly known as coat closet #2 and is now working under the nom-de-guerre of "our own little Niagara Falls" has temporarily dried up. In this calm before the storm (now, there's a kiss of death statement) I decided to do a post. Thursday, pre-flood, I'd gone on a jaunt to H&M. A little backstory...I have been visiting Net-a-Porter with a certain frequently recently to cast covetous glances at See by Chloe's leather bomber jacket, as shown in the picture on the right. It's probably a sign that I've been watching too much 70's television but it appealed to me. However, $1,200 for something that has a definite thrift-store vibe is not even vaguely fiscally responsible. |  |
Fast-forward to Thursday. As I wandered around H&M I found the jacket below. Now, it's not leather...to be honest, it's probably not even pleather...and, considering the recent debacle with toys from China being recalled due to high lead levels, I'm probably in danger of lead poisoning. But...I like it. I also like the chambray skirt that I picked up at the same time. Which has, once again, a slight 70's feel.
As I said, I'm watching too many re-runs...

does it satisfy the craving?
It also makes me feel slightly virtuous...like I "saved" a thousand dollars. Ah, fashion math...
Then, when I tried it on again today I thought...hang on, is this a dress?
So now I'm going with the idea that it's "convertible" and can be worn either way...at least that's my plan.
Thanks smart shopper!

In my experience they can run large...if you're an x-small/small I would have thought a 2 would have been a little large. You've probably already done this but I'd suggest getting all the measurements from the seller.
Hope it fits...and hope you win it...it's a gorgeous jacket!
Thanks again and luck with all.
