You guys are making me blush (not a bad shade with my new jacket though;-) Thank you so much for all the positive comments. I'm super chuffed that you love the jacket too!
Thanks also for chiming in on the footwear. After seeing the photos, I too prefer the oxfords for a more polished look (and to Claire's point, the white booties for a somewhat sportier vibe).
Sveta - This jacket looks so stunning on both you and Suz. As you suggested in your email, perhaps the three of us should do a joint WIW featuring our new purchase;-)
Suz - OMG, I wouldn't dream of being so rude and not keep you sweet ladies posted on my feelings about the jacket!! It turns out it was shipped by boat, that's why it took 6 weeks to get here. But it was so worth the wait:-) Thanks for the Leith pants warning, as far as I can tell (they arrived yesterday) they look and feel good. And thank you again for adding your outfit photo, you look amazing as always. I have the booties, and a different animal print belt, and plan to copy you soon. LOL about the punky fringe. I thought the same thing, but Angie pointed out that with the right goo and "rock formation" spray a lot can be achieved. And my fringe is behaving quite well, surprisingly. Do give it a try - I love how just by spiking the fringe my do feels so much more me, modern and spunky.
Scarlet - Excellent!-) I just know this plaid shirt is going to look splendid on you. Very excited about the cargo pants too. Please keep us posted?
Angie - It's such a relief you got that citron crash helmet, at least now I don't need to worry too much about you hurting your head;-) And thank you for all the white jacket love.
Texstyle - Such a shame it's too warm in your neck of the woods for a leather jacket. And yes, wish you could feel the leather, it truly is fantastic.
K can shop - You made me laugh with the Miami Vice reference. Please don't let that stand in the way of you trying on a white leather jacket, you would rock the look!
Vicki - Your comment made my day extra happy, thank you!-) And yes, we need to get you one asap. As Suz pointed out, this is not the jacket Celia tried on (that was a little shorter, I believe. I would link to it, but I'm not entirely sure which style it was).
Jayne - Oh yes! Sveta and Suz were super helpful in determining the right size, but it still is a bit of a gamble ordering online from a brand you've never tried on before.
Sona - Can I hug you?!-)
Claire - Love it that you were able to tell the outcome just by my exclamation mark:-) Spring has been pretty invisible here for now, it's very cold and windy with lots of rain and some snow, but yezzzz, my new jacket is making me feel super energized and Spring-esque. A very welcome breath of fresh air.
Day Vies - Thank you:-) It's going to play super well with lots of my existing wardrobe capsules and I'm going to have a ball experimenting with new outfit combinations.
Aida - So fun that we were on the same wavelength with the white and plaid. Can't wait to see your outfit.
Shevia - So sweet of you to ask, I'll do my best:-)
Beth Ann - You bet, I think this is going to be a real wardrobe workhorse for me and I plan to wear it all the time.
Deborah - Thank you, I will try to post a little more often:-)
