Work Jackets

I am always on the lookout for a good jacket for work. For me, traditional business jackets, look too stuffy on me (and my body shape), so I usually tend to look for shorter, somewhat non-traditional styles, like a few that I have found today. I picked these because The Limited is having a sale - buy one, get one 50% off, plus they have extended their virtual dollars (if you have any to use).

Jacket #1: Stripes
Stripes are still a big trend this season, and I am glad because I like the way stripes add some movement to an outfit. To accent the winter white and black stripes, accessorize with a gold bracelet (or necklace, earrings, watch...).

Open Square Stretch Bracelet sold @ The Limited

Jacket #2: Nautical
Collarless jackets continue to be big trend, as seen on this jacket and others. Also, this jacket has a nautical theme with its navy color and anchor buttons on the sleeves.

Curved Closure Jacket sold @ The Limited

Jacket #3: Peplum
Another trend that is still going strong is the peplum detail, seen in tops and jackets. I like this jacket because the peplum is minimized and not so obvious, so I feel it will last beyond the trend.

Red Leather Jacket

The new collection at Zara has arrived and on my wish list is this great jacket. I love leather jackets, and in particular this red quilted one. It is a little pricey at this point, but I will watch to see if it goes on sale (Note: Zara is having a great sale on their fall/winter…)

So, if I was to buy this jacket (or another similar one - for only $39.80) here are two potential outfit combos…
Option #1: More casual weekend - going out with friends or to dinner. If you haven't noticed, I like leopard print and in particular how it pairs with red, like this example from one of my daily reads.

Option #2: A more dressy, possibly casual work option.
