Help me pick a "leather" jacket
I'm actually amazed it lasted this long -- my beloved black "leather" jacket I got from Forever 21 at least five years ago. But alas, it's finally on its last leg. The pleather is peeling in places, the collar is pill-ridden and the pockets are torn. You better believe I got all my $20 worth.
There's nothing like a good excuse to go shopping, right?
This Xhilaration bomber jacket from Target is the most similar to what I have: Simple, but with just a little edge thanks to the straight collar. It's on sale right now for $25. Woo!
This brown one from Macy's is another cute choice. I love the ruffles. And it's on sale for $40 down from $99!
I could always go back to the source, Forever 21. Usually stuff I buy there lasts about three wears, but heck, I had great luck with the last jacket. Maybe outerwear is the exception. I loveeeee, love, love this tan bomber. The quilted cuffs and snap collar and zippered pocket -- I love it all. And $32.80's not bad. Think this one will last five years, too?
Which is your favorite? Anybody got any other suggestions?
