I second Suz on holding up while you are loosing weight. If I remember well you have quite an amazing assortment of spring and summer clothing from last year.
You can treat yourself to a beautiful jacket when you reach your weight goal knowing your earned it and can wear it for a long time!
I am such a spanner, don't you think?

The floral moto is wonderful on you and stunning with your colouring. Great dress up/down piece. Funny, it looks like it fits well in the photo. I can see that the $$ might give you pause. I have a funny feeling this item might go on sale eventually but that is a risk for sure. The other floral items posted are all nice but this CM jacket takes the cake for me.

I'd probably sleep on it, go back and visit and generally stalk it until I was sure.

I haven't read the other comments, Shannon, so I'm just going on fit and what seems to flatter you most. Hands down for me, I choose the CM floral jacket. I love how it fits you overall and how it could work so well in your wardrobe. The cream color in the Danier jacket is very pretty on you, but I don't care for the fit in the back. It seems like it might be a bit too long. These are just my opinions. What's most important is how you feel about the jackets. Here's an idea, if you have't tried it already - give Angie's Item-Outfit-Capsule test a try and see if that helps you sort it out!

Shannon for the most part jackets are rarely an issue when I loose weight. Of course sometimes after weightloss I can close jackets that couldn't close before but then I rarely wear jackets closed. If you carry your weight like I do, all around my mid section, then the floral jacket is not necessarily an unwise purchase at this time. Reading between the lines what Im really saying is I love that jacket and I think you should have it The colourful floral jacket you linked to is nice but you know everyone is wearing that look. I find the floral in the moto style much more interesting.

I LOVE the floral on you. It brings out your hair, your complexion, your figure--everything. I completely adore it.

I very much love the white motto on you. Nowadys I'm more attracted to strong, bold monochromatic contrasts than to a mish-mash hues, but the flower jacket (in a bigger size)will loo fab with your skirts and dresses for sure, I say, both would have earn their place in your wardrobe. Not much of a help, I know:-(.

After looking at the pics, reading your post, looking at the pics again, and again back and forth, I declare that I prefer the floral one.

When I saw the Danier one I thought it was so you. I saw it was a bit on the long side but it looks like you could pull it off.

However the floral one's cut is so much more flattering on you, I imagine it would be more versatile too. And I like the motif. I think it would respond well to pieces you currently wear.

Haven't read the other replies, but the black and white jacket is too much - it's wearing you. The floral moto is much more flattering and is still cool.

I love the moto on you - the fit and the style seems to work well for you. I love the idea of the white and black leather but the fit is not perfect to my eye. It would be a good addition so perhaps that one needs PPP. I did notice that Winners is bringing in the floral blazer and a few motos - might be worth a look there - in the juniors for the moto and the womens for the blazer. You might be able to get what Suz calls the floral fix, that way.

Are you kidding, there is no contest! The floral moto is amazing on you. the scuba jacket is too long, too boxy and shapeless.

The price gives me pause though... floral jackets are a trend... perhaps this one would have more staying power in your wardrobe as it is a graphic black and white pattern. I have lots of b/w patterned pieces that I've worn for years that don't seem to date for me.

I'm reminded of the old adage, "If in doubt, do without".

I can't thank you all enough for your wise and wonderful feedback. Every single comment has made me think - and for that, I'm extremely grateful.

As much as the floral moto makes my heart pitter patter a little bit, I'm going to pass on it - for now. The price for an item that I do see as fairly trendy and unsure whether I'd be wearing it in six months gives me pause.

I'm going to dig out my current floral blazer and see what I still think about it and possibly look to see if I can find a well fitting, less expensive jacket to get me through the spring/summer.

The leather moto is a definite "no go".

Thanks again ladies - you're the best!
