‘It’ I mean this Crossover Jacket with Leather Lapels from Zara:
 |
| Crossover Jacket with Leather Lapels - Zara, £79.99 |
I
tried on this jacket last Saturday and it was on my mind for 3 days before I took
the plunge and bought the jacket. This was partially influenced by the fact
that I checked the jacket online on saw that there was only size XS left!
Pros:
- It is an investment buy; such a jacket will last me at least a couple of years
- I need a short jacket as I've worn my other one to death
- It looks good on me – my mum said so!
- The leather lapels smell divine!
Cons:
- The price – at £79.99 this jacket was not cheap
- The last 24 hours have been bitterly cold; is this really a jacket to be fronting in this season?
- It’s Zara – how many people will I see rocking the same jacket? I’ve already seen one girl with this jacket and she looked about 16 -_-
So
now I’m deliberating over whether to keep this beauty…..got 25 days to make my
mind up!
So I shall be borrowing that... Thanks :)

It's a beautiful jacket but whenever I question a purchase of mine to that extent,it usually means I should return it!

Ah thanks hun!! :) do you have any recommendations of YT channel with good tabata vids? xx take care
ReplyDeleteThis jacket is great, but I don't think it will survive the bitter cold.
ReplyDeleteMy friend has the same one but she is getting a winter coat in addition so..
If you can afford to buy it then keep it because it is lovely and will take you nicely into spring.

I do love ZARA, but its becoming a commoner's marketplace.
ReplyDeleteThat jacket alone, I've seen 5 people to date with it...there will be more!
Then again, its a beautiful jacket, but I agree on the weather front. I just did the same with a thin jacket from River Island. If you can layer? Do!
The bit about it lasting a few years? Lets be real...the leather lepel trend is just that, a 'trend'. Who is to say it'll survive the test of time?
If it were me? I'd keep it, but I wouldn't try and rationalise it cos its a passion piece, not an investment.
The more you think about it, the sillier the decision will be. So bite the bullet and stick to what u love lol
