I got this jacket at my favourite consignment shop as one of the items in exchange for some of my sales. I like the colours, the asymmetrical front, the large almost origami style collar and the short, cropped length. The quality is fantastic.

I've popped it on top of my black ponte knit sheath dress, added black micro fishnets and my cobalt blue suede booties. For a handbag, I'm using my grey faux snakeskin clutch. I think this jacket could head into "fuddy duddy" territory if not careful so I'm using modern elements like coloured booties and a clutch to keep the overall outfit modern.

Jewelry is my Haida wedding band and a silver/garnet vintage ring.

What do you think? Was this a good "buy"? How are the proportions? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.

Jacket: Nygard (consignment)
Dress: Cleo Petite (thrifted)
Fishnets: Hue
Booties: Aerosoles
Handbag: thrifted

ETA: Question - do you think this jacket is too short to wear with trousers?
