My Favorite Things: The Jean Jacket

by laura on June 10, 2010

I think the heat is getting to me, I need to digress today. I haven’t done a post that falls into “my favorite things” in a while so when I had an ah-ha moment this morning I knew it was meant to be. I was buying a NY Times to get my Thursday Home Section fix and there was a girl standing near me in a long black flowy dress and a jean jacket. I felt compelled to tell her that I was so happy to see her in a jean jacket. She looked terrific and we kind of laughed. She said to me “bring it back”, little did she know she had inspired a post. If you have an appreciation of the 80′s like I do listen along while you think about bringing it back. The Safety Dance

4 pretty pink tulips June 10, 2010 at 3:08 pm: OK….this is too funny. I almost put mine on today. I keep wondering if it’s cool – but everytime I throw it over a dress —- I get compliments. So, I’m hanging on to mine – and probably taking it to Paris!!
