Wearing my humble chore jacket in France

Sheila

Veteran

I picked up two chore jackets at Old Navy as soon as they emerged last fall. One is blue denim, the other is black. The black one is getting a TON of wears on this current trip to France. Mostly I like them because of the POCKETS — Yay! Some place to stash my cell phone!

We’re here for 5 weeks so I have more jackets but this one is getting a lot of use.

Here are some quick photos (obviously not styled).

Great jacket and hope you enjoyed a good performance at Ducs des Lombards. We usually try to get there when in Paris as Mr. Eliza is a jazz hound. Fun photos!

Looks great, but think the yellow floral top is my favorite! You definitely fit in

adding to Lesley's comment, Sheila, I think your Old Navy jacket looks very Marine Ancienne here.

Looks great in every picture!

I like how you pair it with prints and stripes. All solids get dull and the dark color certainly travels well.

I always look the jackets at Old Navy over. A utility type jacket is something they do well.
