love those buttons!

Thanks for the Lands End tip Sona - I'll have to check it out!

Shannon,
The jacket is so beautifully tailored... looks like it fits you like a glove. The color is beautiful on you and the buttons are charming! It looks wonderful on you! Great gift. Looks lovely the way you have it paired it with dress and boots.

I didn't get a chance to say yesterday how much I love your new jacket. It has amazing details and my favorite is those fun buttons. I'm glad you got the one that you really loved, it looks fantastic on you!

Sorry I was MIA yesterday...I'm so glad Jem bumped the thread and I saw it.

You decribed this jacket perfectly when you and hubby bought it. It looks like an incredible statement piece for you. I'm SO happy for you. And happy early birthday!

I'm late chiming in, but no wonder this jacket speaks to you. It's a great colour for you, it fits so well, it'll be so versatile in your wardrobe. I'm glad you got this instead of sticking to something supposedly-sensible in a neutral.

Gorgeous new jacket, and it's a great color on you. You are wise to let it play center stage, leaving the other elements simple (ponte sheath) but edgy (Docs). A great outfit, you look so cool!

Just have to say how fabulous your new jacket is! It looks like it was made for you. The color is beautiful on you Shannon. I have no further styling suggestions but looking forward to see a lot of this jacket.

Oh what a fabulous jacket x

Shannon,
That purple leather jacket is divine on you. I can tell how much you love it by your smile and your stance! Love those buttons too in the detail pic. I think it will go with most things and reads as a neutral. You have such style to team it with the Docs. Your hubby has excellent taste in picking that jacket for you!

You look fab in this, Shannon! The fit is perfect, and it has a lot of personality, just like you! Did Ms. Crankypants Co-worker have anything to say about this jacket :)?

Hi Shannon,
Somehow I missed this thread before.
Your new jacket is a gem, and so is your sweet husband.

Enjoy- you look beautiful!
