I bought this navy striped jacket last summer when we were up on the North Coast and I've worn it quite a bit but have only featured it on the blog a couple of times...it's the usual dilemma with distinctive coats & jackets. I love how they brighten up a neutral outfit like it does here but you're a bit limited in how you can wear them and it's more obvious to others (including blog readers!) when you wear multiple times.
Jacket - Esprit SS13 (similar here & here)
Jeans - Maison Scotch c/o Feather & Stitch
Cream Blouse - M&S AW13 (similar here & here)
Navy Quilted Handbag - Dune from TK Maxx (similar here & here)
Navy Pumps - Alice Field from Zalando (old but current season here)
Gold Geo Necklace - SGS Shop
Quick post today as I'm off to the wholesalers to restock the shop - lots of pieces sold out over the weekend - the lariat one I featured on Instagram was a particular favourite. It's just such a great piece, especially if you're not a fan of big statement pieces or short necklaces.
Silver Lariat Necklace - £12
This one has been popular too. In fact, I wore it to a choir concert on Friday and someone in the audience asked for details and bought one the next day! Sorry the photo is a bit blurry - it was taken later on after the concert (and a late night Tesco shop!). There are better photos in the shop on this link.
Grey Crystal Bib - £18
Hope you're having a good Monday - back later today (hopefully) with a special post for my local readers :)

I agree with you on distinctive jackets. It's hard to wear them with anything other than a plain top, and then you are conscious of wearing it too much! Love this stripy jacket, perfect coverup for this time of year x
ReplyDeleteI like a stripe jacket, I should of got the M&S one that was out, I think Donna has it. I might check ebay! Have a fab day x
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely jacket so it doesn't matter how often you wear it. H xx
ReplyDeleteI love the stripy jacket - and I think if something really suits you, then it doesn't matter how often you wear it . The only thing that people will consistently think is 'doesn't she look well!'
ReplyDeleteOh what an amazing jacket and the top and the outfit of the night - all in all some gorgeous looks
ReplyDeleteLove the jacket....you've styled it so perfectly! Stripes are so classic, I think you'll be able to wear it for years to come xx
ReplyDeleteI love your striped jacket but I know what you mean about really distinctive pieces. I have a few dresses that I love but my wear from them is limited as they are bright and patterned. Must check out the shop again! Lynne x
ReplyDeleteHi Avril, love that striped jacket and the way you wear it, don't stop.

Love that jacket I remember it from last year- which is exactly what you're talking about as statement jackets are easy to remember. You almost need to wear them as tops and just do a plain layer underneath I think!
ReplyDeleteGreat post, you look lovely. I understand your problem of being limited to what you can wear so that it doesn't keep popping up in different posts. it just means more shopping for us, Lol.
