Yes, Angie, I will be wearing this for my birthday. And I appreciate your honesty, as I'm sure everyone does. It's the best way to learn what looks good and what doesn't. If a garment does or doesn't work for me, I want to know about it right away, no sugar coating! All too often, we (I) purchase items thinking "Maybe I can make this work for me." An important lesson I've learned from you and my other YLF friends is "Don't try to make the garment work for you. It either does or it doesn't, and if it doesn't, there is something better out there for you."

And yea for so many of us finding our perfect fitting garments! How could we not, being under the guidance of an expert fashion stylist!

I LOVE this on you. I actually saw it online but wrote it off as not really wearable. But now I want it! Happy birthday!

Omg! That's one awesome jacket!! And I am saving that mantra in my shopping memory

So awesome! Both your hubby and your beautiful new jacket. Totally love the shape and the flaps, incredibly flattering!

Happy Birthday! Can I just say WOW!!!!! Unstyled this jacket still sings with what you have on. I absolutely LOVE it. (I am also drooling but that may just be the hormones ;-)) The color is fabulous on you. I can't wait to see how you really style this jacket but you should know this looks like a "real" outfit too. Darn it girl you look chic!

You look stunning in this! I am so glad your keeping and what a thoughtful hubby.
