Embroidered Jacket

When you live in San Francisco, there is no such thing as too many jackets…jackets of all kinds! And as odd as it sounds, the “summer” months are actually the coldest months of the year. Before we hit paradise during September and October, I never leave the house without something to cover my shoulders. I was stoked when I came across this embroidered jacket! Can you blame me?

The only time less is more is when you are working with a statement piece. You never want to complete with the garment you are trying to highlight! For the reason above, I dressed in all black underneath the featured jacket. Creating dimension with a peplum top, and drama with flare pants, who says a solid black ensemble has to be uninteresting?! Pulling two accent colors from the pattern on the jacket, I polished off the look with teal dress sandals and a red cross-body bag.

Product reviews have never been more important then they are now in the digital age! I rarely ever make an online purchase without reading at least one product review. It is the only way to get honest feedback about the size and fit. It is my job to provide you all with useful style tips and fashion hacks, so I am going to be totally honest about these pants. While I LOVE the fit and flare cut, if you have muscular legs (I like to call them Bar Method legs!), they are not for you! Sizing up will not help because the waist fits true to size. The good news is that I am already on the hunt for a similar stretchy pair. You’re welcome…!
