NAS - Frenchi Leather Jacket - should I buy?

Vani

I made it to the NAS this morning and snagged a pair of the Me Too wedges and an unplanned Halogen blazer in the same color as Kristen (I swear I tried all the other colors too Kristen! :-D). I will post pictures later today but I have a quick question about the Frenchi jacket I have been eyeing. If I get the go ahead I will head out again a little later and hope they still have it.

This is the jacket: http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....1&P=1

And here are a few pictures: (fixed links)

Sorry they are hazy, I had to use my phone. Yay or nay? This will be my one leather jacket purchase in the forseeable future so I don't want to be buying something that is not great.

Thanks much!!!

The pictures on this post aren't working, but I saw them on Tayna's post. I think it's awesome. I love the grey color.

Oops, sorry! Fixed the links Thanks Alecia!! Unfortunately, I didn't see the jacket in grey, only in black. Maybe I'll just bite the bullet and order online in grey.

I think it looks cute on you Niva, and it's a great price! Do you love it though?

Cathy, thanks! You're so right on - I wasn't really loving it

After trying on a few different jackets (esp this), I decided to pass on this one now because I think what I'm looking for is very similar to the jackets Laura and Patience have been sporting, you know the ones with the rounded collars and straight zip? Like this and this. At the very least this exercise helped me determine what I want. The hunt is on!

I agree that a mandarin collar and straight zip would be best. Keep looking!

I am WOUND UP with excitement, Vani!!! And all sugared up too. I just came back from shopping the NAS with Antje, Laurel and Julie this morning and am going back in half an hour to spend the rest of the afternoon with clients. Wooohooo!

I don’t how much you're willing to spend Vani, but I sort of like these leather jackets for you:

LOL! You must be having so much fun!

I really like the Bernardo jacket, the detailing is awesome and so is the price

I LOVE the Kenna jacket, but I can't seem to justify much on a leather jacket for someone living in Florida and not planning to move anytime soon

I'll swing by this evening and give them a whirl. Thank you!!

It's been a great sale for everyone here so far! I’m very happy with the purchases my clients have made :0)

I hear you loud and clear and totally agree, Vani. Have fun shopping tonight – make sure you try on dresses!

That Kenna jacket is gorgeous! I see you decided not to go with the Frenchi jacket Niva. I have just ordered and will decide later if it's worth keeping.
