I try occasionally to move outside my comfort zone.
I rarely wear blue, but this color seemed very compelling to me, and I loved the contrast seaming. Plus, it’s cotton velvet. Very soft.
It can’t all be classic jackets, can it? I bought this on-line and thought the white was shearling trim, but it turns out to be exposed, frayed seams. Regardless, I like the graphic effect.
But wait, there’s more. The back is a different fabric than the front!
I’ve always had a soft spot for harlequins! But do I want to dress like one?
Now I am thinking of The Nutcraker, which leads to thoughts of . . .
Many years ago, I crossed paths with Mikhail Baryshnikov in one of the foyers at the Kennedy Center. He was wearing a tuxedo and radiating charisma.

Back to business!
This jacket is pretty boxy. You are seeing it after I had the tailor add darts to the back, which provide a modest amount of shape . . . but not much.
Is it working for me? Is it working for work? I don’t know. But I have a feeling that someday inspiration will strike and I will find the perfect time and place for this jacket. Until then, I have a very cozy jacket to throw on when I want a little bright color. Maybe I’ll try it with jeans. Perhaps I will wear it on the weekend with yoga pants and sneakers instead of a denim jacket.
Jacket: Love Moschino; Blouse: JCrew; Pants: JCrew; Boots: 8; Bag: Kate Spade
I think it’s fun and I love the frayed seams. Would like to see a little more open, perhaps over a light color T-shirt, with jeans. To me, this is not a work jacket. This is a fun jacket!
This is totally a fun jacket. Since the jacket is boxy (even with the alterations), it might be better to have on slimmer pants? jodie
