Thank you Angie for helping me to put my pining in perspective (does librarian Heather approve of my alliteration?!). You are right, of course. I will stop pining and continue searching. Of course in my dreams this one fits beautifully and looks perfect with every item in my closet! *grin*
@modgirl - the entire combo was delish, but it was the jacket that definitely made it. I tried on a couple of the jackets at the NAS, but none of them really worked on me. Although, good point about the collar. I think it was the collar that I didn't like on me when I tried the tiered jacket at NAS...
@bj1111 - the jacket you've linked to would be more like it price-wise. It was the color (yum!) and the shape that I loved. I could definitely imagine incorporating it into both my business casual and weekend casual wardrobe. It has the right amount of edge and interesting detail without being too edgy if that makes sense. This bebe is fab, but couldn't go to work.
@Mo - thanks for the heads up about BB Dakota!
