For me, party pieces aren’t usually what draws me since my lifestyle leans more to the casual side 🙂 My latest purchase from Express was a faux leather jacket which I gave you a sneak peak of in my grand opening post. The one I was wearing a size small but a kind SA was able to scrounge the back and find me an XS so thank goodness I didn’t have to take it to another store to exchange.
I really love this jacket – it’s perfect to wear with simple jeans and a t-shirt.
But what about using the jacket to “toughen” up a really feminine skirt like one of my favourites – my H&M lace skirt.
I could also probably wear the jacket open more like a blazer – perhaps over a sequined tank top for the holidays? All the parties I have to go to now are a little more casual so I’m thinking jeans and a sequined tank paired with this jacket will suit my style 🙂
If I were wearing this out I’d definitely dress it up with some accessories and a great clutch. Apologies that I don’t have a “real” outfit post for you – I took these pictures before leaving on vacation as I KNEW December would be a really hectic month!
I’m almost done my Christmas shopping (I thought I was done but as always there are last minute items I need to pick up!) but I was browsing online and was checking out the Express gift guide for some great ideas! I’m especially loving all the red items like the silcone watch, leather bracelet, and bag.
So, have you completed your shopping? Did anything on the gift guide catch your eye too? I’d also love to hear if you’re going to any fabulous party this holiday season and of course what you’ll be wearing!
Thanks Kate! I was so excited they found the right size for me 🙂
Great jacket! It fits you like a glove!

You should check they probably still have them in stores!
Thanks Ella! I’m sure you’ll be able to find a similar skirt – everywhere I look there are lace skirts now!
Thanks NP! As soon as I saw it I pretty much knew it was coming home with me 😛
i absolutely agree with your outfits for the holidays – worn with a sequin top, with jeans. perfect! it looks great on you – perfect fit!! xox
Nice!! Love it! My daughter would die for that.
I love that jacket so much – so glad you were able to find it in a smaller size – it’s the perfect piece for fall & spring – my favorite color too! Also adore that H&M skirt – so wish I had picked one up when it was available!
Thats a nice looking/fitting jacket!
