Hinge NAS jacket

Here's the jacket Shiny and I are thinking about. Here it is on me:

I seriously started to pay attention to this look only last year, and this is the best I've tried so far, both in terms of fit and style. It's hard to find one that's short enough in the torso (this one is 19'), long enough in the arms, and not overwhelming in the collar area (short neck issues). I've tried the more tough looking Kenna T jackets last year and they kind of swallowed me.

I can see myself wearing this style to death. I'm REALLY excited about it!

KILLER. I mean KILLER. It fits PERFECTLY and looks SUPERB, Lena. If you return this jacket, there will be hell to pay!

It’s so nice to see you post again. I’ve missed your outfits. Love the blue toes my bony-footed long toed twin.

Love the jacket, Lena (how could I say anything else after Angie's rating :) ). Seriously though, it looks wonderful on you and suits you perfectly. I also love your sweet pea top and white jeans combo...very nice!

It is AMAZING on you Lena!!! You absolutely have to keep it. I adore how you have layered it with the asymmetrical sweet pea top. (It is sweat pea, right?)

Seeing it on you, makes me realize it is not quite right for me. I think length has a lot to do with it- it's a "cheeky" length on you, which is what I was going for too, but it needs to be even shorter on me. (I had measured my AT bomber before I ordered... just one or two inches less, and it might work okay on me, darn). Also your waist is so teeny tiny and mine isn't quite so tiny.

I am so glad it works for you! I am sending mine back and waiting out AT to come up with a petite Bagetelle jacket in this style ... I hope they are reading this ;-) I think I can probably pull off this style, but it's ALL about fit, and the fit has to be just right. Which it is on you!!! Lucky gal.

Wow, it looks fantastic, Lena! I would never believe you're new to this style :)
Enjoy!

Heeee! Thank you, ladies! Angie, you crack me up :) And thank you for your encouragement and killer rating! I'm super excited!

Shiny and Dani, it is indeed a Sweet Pea top. I've finally found the colors and patterns I like (just when I stopped looking). Plus they were on huge sale. What's not to love?

Dani, I'm also loving the black and white combo. I'm looking forward to wearing this when it gets colder.

Shiny, I hope you find a perfect length moto jacket this fall season. I'm crossing my fingers for you. It pays to wait. Ann Taylor, are you listening?

Marianne, thank you. Btw, it was 106+ over here today, and I hurried up to take these before the heat set in. Yikes!

Angie, the toes are turquoise/teal from China Glaze. I love this color!
