Mo-vember Jacket Challenge Day 2: Washed Red Utility Jacket

November 3, 2012

I purchased this jacket last summer (2011) and wore it to death. It barely got any play *this* summer, however, because the temperatures were simply. too. high. I was happy to wear it out on a short trip to get my car out of the shop and pick up some things at the grocery store.

Even though this is a juniors' jacket (Hollister), I still love it and find it very in keeping with my style - especially in summer. I will likely favor a harder edge as the weather continues to cool, but this summer tomboy style is a keeper.

Red utility jacket - Hollister
Gray tee - local store
Yellow bag - gift from Mom via TJ Maxx
Boyfriend jeans - Old Navy
Report Marks booties - Amazon
Faux tortoise shell necklace - flea market

    Oh, how I understand the lack of a harder edge in the summer weather. Glad you got to finally take it out again for a spin. Do you think it will make the cut?

    I think it will, Mo. I love it as a summer jacket with short shorts!

    Love this jacket on you. My more summery jackets are not going to be part of this challenge right now!

    Great colour & fit - it looks so fresh with the bag & the blue of the jeans.

I'm just your average working stiff who loves nice things and hates to pay for them. This blog outlines my efforts to navigate that treacherous shopping/saving divide through swappin', thriftin', and even a little resellin'. Many of the pieces in my wardrobe cost me just $1! We've heard a lot about people "living above their means" in recent years; I'm championing the concept of living large *below* your means - whatever that means for you. :)
