This blog post from 2017 resonated with me today. Angie's advice stands the test of time!

I brought home this moto jacket from Loft a couple of weeks ago. Find #1. This particular style of jacket is extremely difficult to fit on me; I've tried dozens of them. This one is a petite size, good fit, stretchy faux suede fabric, nice cognac color. I've been looking for something like this for a looong time.

The more I think about it the more I've decided to return it.

  1. For my climate, this jacket would only be outerwear for my very short transition seasons and this fall I'm yearning for a lightweight thigh-length fitted coat instead.
  2. I used to LOVE this color but these days I'd prefer darker/cooler chocolate browns
  3. I have a such a casual lifestyle that classic blazers as part of outfits feel too formal most of the time. The moto style, which is very classic, feels similar
  4. I think I'd prefer a slightly more trendy knit jacket style, like one of these other finds. Lands End has one too in a dark green ..
