Sharagano Noir Tweed Jacket

Last week, I ordered this tweed jacket from Last Call by Neiman Marcus when they had a one-day 30% off promotion. I spent a the whole day debating whether or not I should make the purchase and I even almost missed the sale. I've always wanted to find myself a tweed jacket of this type but I had the following concerns for buying this one:

• too mature looking
• color is not as noted (Blue/Multi) because in the pictures it looks more Black/Beige
• satin trim was too much
• fit would not be pleasant
• poor quality

After making the order, I kept second thinking it and almost cancelled the order. But upon receiving the jacket yesterday, all my concerns were dismissed and I loved it. In peson, the color is actually a dark navy blue with hints of peach. The quality of the texture is great and it is lightweight, not a good jacket for warmth. And the trim was bearable, not too overwhelming. I purchased this jacket in a size 2 with 30% off at $103.75 after tax and free shipping. But now they are having an even better offer at 35% off, ends tomorrow morning 02/17/12 8 A.M. CT. (So wished I knew about and waited for this offer.) Anyways, I really recommend this tweed jacket if a nice tweed jacket is what you are out and about looking for, which I was for the last two years.

And I truly apologize for posting this on the last day of their promotion. I found out about the promotion two days ago but was too busy to write a post.

Here are my closeups for the details of this jacket:

Floral polyester, chiffon-like lining.

My lighting makes the peach in this jacket look a little more orange.

My Color Coordinated Wardrobe

Mostly black pieces, huh? Like all of you, I am currently in a never-ending process of expanding my wardrobe collection. And praying someday I'd own a walk-in closet and have enough clothes to fill them. This is one of my three closets, but this one definitely stores the pieces I love oh so dearly. Haha, you can spot my long jane pajama pants down at the bottom, how unsightly.

Express Shoe Sale - 30% Off

I have actually never tried any express shoes. If I were to judge them by the cover, I would say that they are of the similar quality as Aldo shoes. Anyhow, they are currently having a 30% off sale on their website. And for $25 for a nice looking pair of sandals or flats, I think it's time I try some Express shoes. Here are some pieces I think would go great with a lot of outfits.

For flats:

Prices are as marked.

For the Satin Pointy Toe Flat, unless I have pieces in my closet that goes well blue, green, or orange, I would only go for the off-white, or Bone, color option. I've owned an off white, pointy toe flat from Steve Madden before and I loved it. Wore it with a lot of outfits, so much that it eventually worn out and had to be tossed.

And for the T-Strap Wedge Sandal, I'd be happy with either color but if I had to choose one, I'd go with the brown, or Cognac, color.

There are other cute shoes in their sale, but for the price, I have a feeling I can find some other pair another time that I would probably like more and maybe even be of a higher quality.

If you sign up for their e-mail, they'll send you a 15% off coupon. Shipping starts at $8 or snag free shipping when you spend $150 or more.

Please feel free to leave comments and if you frequent Express shoes, please let me know what you think of them.
