J Crew's metallic mosaic jacket - This is from spring or summer and I think it's sold out. One popped up online on their site and I was able to get it.
I love it! I have seen a couple on eBay and the seller wanted $149 - $179. I think I paid $130 and it's well worth it. The pattern is beautiful and the metallic is not at all garish, imo. In mild weather I'd say it's a spring, cool summer nite or fall item. It's lightweight and feels great on the body. I got a size 4 and like it. I would have been ok w/a 6 as it fits close to the body.

It's fab on you Gigi! Love it. WOnder if you could wear it for the holidays? Is it too lightweight?
ReplyDeletecaliglam - Thanks! I'm really happy with it. I can totally wear it for the holidays. It's just not something you want to wear outdoors for a period of time, thinking it's going to keep you warm.

lol, a puffy cottonball!
ReplyDeleteGigi - I love it on you. Great find! It would look really great with something gray or tan underneath. I love the ivory with those colors.
ReplyDeletecaliglam - I recommend the black Penny over the ivory. Ivory looks cheap, imo.
ReplyDeletekate - Thanks! Gray is a really good call. I didn't think of that.
Why does the ivory look cheap?
ReplyDeleteMan, that is one sparkly jacket. It looks more subtle on the model.
Anonymous @ 1:58a - The material/fibers don't look good on the ivory Penny. It looks like acrylic. The fibers are woven in a box weave pattern (like squares) and then there is a wider box weave over that. The overall effect is that it looks heavier than it is. The fibers are furry and it looks like the jacket is pilling around the edges.
ReplyDeleteThey definitely photographed the metallic mosaic different than it looks in person. I like it better in person.
Thanks for the explanation, gigiofca:)on the ivory.
ReplyDeleteglad the other jacket looks better in person and that you like it; that is all that matters.
