This jacket has an interesting texture and print - its sort of snake-like, but is glittery too and catches the light with movement perfect for Visible Monday.
I like the jacket's casual comfy roominess - great for layering other items underneath. And it is quite soft - almost a faux suede.
I teamed it with a turtleneck tunic and a floppy sleeved print blouse.
I am thinking of adding small buttons with a loop to this blouse so it stays in place under jackets. It is on my refashion, mend, sewing to-do list, which seems to just grow and grow.
The shoes are a bit hard to see, but they are the 3 button slipon booties from Franco Sarto.
The other item in this outfit is this wonderful purse:
The photo really does not do it justice. It's a wonderful rich brown colour with tones of burgundy - I just had to use it today. The bag was super-cheap and some of the zipper pulls still had those little plastic protector thingys on them!

That's a cool jacket, Narda - versatile and with a fab pattern! Thanks for sharing your great look with Visible Monday.
ReplyDeleteThanks Patti! Visible Monday is always the highlight of the week.
DeleteHey, Narda! First time visitor, and I'll be back. Love that your outfit is considered. Neat how you put all the pieces together. I'm always a fan of an edgy jacket, tights and booties, and I'm all admiration of the lady-like layers you put with them. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteHi Janin, Thanks for visiting! I checked out your blog too - it's an interesting read, and I will visit again too.
DeleteThe jacket is really gorgeous! I have a weakness for glittery - shiny fabrics. It looks great with the patterned top underneath. The purse is of course very cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I love it too! It's so soft and comfy, and it was the shiny-ness that first caught my eye.
