I love restaurants that are tasty and “chill.” We frequent Capannina during the week nights on the patio in “work clothes,” and Saturdays inside dressed to kill. In the life of Kelsey and Jonathan Kaplan, work clothes range from barre garb, scrubs, slacks, to sport coats. The point I am trying to make is that it doesn’t really matter what you wear! Regardless, I feel my best when I am over dressed. With that said, I always take advantage of an opportunity to wear something spicy, like this leopard jacket.

Last fall I bought a beautiful leopard and emerald faux fur coat in Italy. The ROI was great on this item as it became my go-to winter coat. Fortunately or unfortunately, it is no longer cold enough to wear faux fur in San Francisco. This lightweight leopard print jacket is a great springtime addition to my date night attire. It looks expensive but looks can be deceiving. At H&M, you can purchase this item for only $69!

Photos do not do this sassy jacket justice. The metallic print is super sharp and appears custom made. I receive so many compliments from women of all ages during dinner at Capannina. On the versatility scale, I rate it a 10. You can wear it as an overcoat, a dress coat, or as pictured above with a bodysuit. As an attempt to balance out the tight top on my upper half, I paired this look with destroyed girlfriend jeans (last seen here). Hope you enjoy my date night attire, but even if you don’t, you still have to try Capannina!

You may recognize this dress from a Wish List Wednesday post a couple of weeks ago. Simply put, I could not resist the urge to buy it! I refer to this little number as my, “Lady Gaga” dress. The shoulder pads remind me of her. I bought it at full price, but I am happy to report that it is now 50% off and available in every size. In fact, the entire Nasty Gal website is 50% off, but every item is final sale. Do your due dilignce and read the reviews and refer to the size charts. The material is not stretchy at all so I recommend sizing up.

I already got my money’s worth with this dress as I wore it during New York Fashion week, and again for Valentine’s Day dinner last night in SF. It has a very thin lining so I suggest wearing black undergarments including stockings underneath it. I do not want to compete with the floral embroidery so I wear it solo and add a little funk with earrings and shoes. What do you think, on a scale of 1-10 how Gaga do I look?
