If I resist the urge to buy something > regret not buying it a few days later > find a similar thing a few years later and still like it >> does this warrant me buying it? There once was this wrinkled black leather jacket from Theory.. It gave me that familiar sense of longing I get for things that cost more than I can afford. I never ended up buying that jacket and regretted it months later. This Nathan Leather Jacket from Mike & Chris looks like a first or second cousin to that jacket. So do I take this one home?? I like how the distressed wrinkles gives the jacket a more laid back touch. I think I could pull it off at work too though.. I’d pair this jeans.. a skirt.. shorts like her in the picture… black slacks.. my Pj.. honestly it would marry anything and everything in my closet (or at least I’d end up convincing myself that). White is not half bad either! Available at Shopbop.com 5 Comments » You have no idea!! I was AGONIZING over the Mike & Chris jacket in May. I tried it on at Intermix in NYC and fell in love, but just couldn’t justify it. hmmm…. Comment by cat — July 7, 2008 @ 12:19 pm It’s clearly justified now that BOTH of us think it’s hot! Comment by Jenni — July 8, 2008 @ 9:21 am very cute jacket! you should try to find a coupon code for a site that sells it. I know revolve clothing has a 30% off code for first-time buyers but since they’re located in CA, you’d have to pay sales tax. Or you can try calling Shopbop and see if they’ll price match the 30% off promotion. I know it’s worked for some ppl. Good luck and I hope you get it!~ ^_^ Comment by sue — July 8, 2008 @ 5:12 pm that’s a great tip Sue! I’m going to load up on stuff at Revolve then!!! Too friggin bad they don’t have the Nathan jacket in black tho. boohooo. Comment by Jenni — July 9, 2008 @ 11:34 pm I love the black jacket. At Nordstrom for Anniversary Sale we have this adorable new Classiques leather jackets now! The white one is OK. I think it’s one of those things you have to see in person I guess. Since from the photo it looks like it could be made from a cotton blend even. But the black one surprisingly looks really good with the shorts too. I usually hate that combo. Great find!
