Remember when I said since it's cold outside I want to buy everything? Well I bought something. I've been looking for a leather type jacket for SO LONG. I ordered one last year from Torrid that I hated, but I got it on sale and couldn't return it so it's been hanging up in my closet brand new with the tags still on it. Maybe I should sell it on Ebay or something. Mama needs a new pair of shoes.
Anyway.
I found out about eloquii from Gabi of GabiFresh.Com. I was SO EXCITED when I caught a preview of some of the pieces and when it finally launched I knew I had to have this jacket. It came last week and I was so pleased with the packaging. If you order clothes online, the packaging is always a crap shoot but my jacket was packaged BEAUTIFULLY. I think Santa's elves packed my jacket and the other goodies that came with it. It was folded and sealed in a plastic bag, which is pretty standard, but was also wrapped in pretty green wrapping paper! See?
Underneath the pretty green wrapping, under the jacket was the free, reversible tote! I love totes.I also really dig free shit. I totes love totes. I always need them on our weekends away. This one is beautiful and really well made. I know I'll be using it often. I didn't take a picture of it but the inside of this tote is a blue canvas type material. I love it! I'm sure I'll be rocking it, shiny side out. Also I love how big it is, it's huge! My husband will have something interesting to say about that I'm sure, but whatever. Guys don't understand big purses/totes.
I was really impressed to find a garment bag for my jacket to keep it all fresh and clean and beautiful. If I can only remember to use it instead of hanging my jacket over the back of one of the chairs in my kitchen. Must remember.
Ok, now for the jacket. I'm always concerned when buying jackets or coats because the sleeves never seem to be long enough. Not this case with this jacket! For me, the length is perfection. I've been wearing this jacket almost everyday since I got it. What I love most about it is that it is not banded at the bottom, so it doesn't rise up and get all awkward on my muffin top. I've been wearing it with my white tshirts (yep in my white tee), long sleeve tshirts and converse. Once I get my act together and find some really bitchin' boots, I'll be wearing this jacket with said boots and some baller skinny jeans. Be patient with me, I'm a work in progress.
So there it is. I'm pleased as punch with this purchase. I'm well on my way on my quest to really find quality staples for my wardrobe. If you're a big gal, check out eloquii , I'm sure you'll find something you'll like! I know I've found about a million things that I will be procuring slowly and one at a time.
