WIW : Pattern!!

Happy Sunday ladies!

This is one of the items I bought earlier this week in Melbourne.  

I had been watching it online since it became available and wasn't sure until I actually tried it on in store if it was for me.  I don't have a desire to add pattern to my wardrobe but when I am tempted, it usually black and white:)  

The jacket is the Mali Long Sleeve Jacket from Metalicus.  Here is the link http://http//www.metalicus.com.....white.html  for anyone interested:)  Metalicus does ship overseas ;)

It's a clever jacket!  It has snaps at the side and that is how I am wearing it today.  But it also has snaps on the shoulder so it can be draped upward and secured on the left shoulder.  And it can of course be worn open and draped.  It is polyester/spandex blend and is quite lightweight which makes it perfect for layering. 

My outfit started off with black ponte leggings, ankle boots and a plain black shirt.  I don't think I have shown you the shirt before. It is from Target, a nice fabric, cut and length.  Collared shirts are rare in my wardrobe because it is so hard to find ones that fit me well (and have a nice small collar) so when this one worked I had to buy it. I was going to wear a blanket wrap with the outfit but just wasn't feeling it so I popped the jacket on just to see how it worked and I decided I liked the combo.

A couple of friends at church this morning said they loved the jacket, so hopefully I'm on a winner;)

What say you?  Your thoughts, suggestions and critique much appreciated.

xxx Deborah

    Love it! I love the drape of the jacket and the way it is shaped, especially at the back. Great outfit :)

    What a gorgeous piece, Deborah. It looks spectacular. Love it with the black collared shirt as well. And the necklace adds a slightly retro feel.

    Deborah this looks gorgeous! I really love the drape, and the versatility of having a number of ways to style it. 
    It is interesting how you manage to wear the Metallicus looser drapes so well, I find they drown me a little. I thought I was too short, but I remember you are not so tall either! 
    Either way, this outfit looks FAB and very you. Great buy and I think you will have many happy wears for years to come :)

    That is a stunning outfit, Deborah. You look great in this pattern; I don't recall seeing you in one before. The jacket design is genius, too.

    Love the drape at the side and back!  It suits you so well.

    Lovely addition, it will work with many of your existing pieces and is very classy indeed.

    Lovely jacket Deborah, you have a winner.

    The jacket is beautiful!

    Gorgeous gorgeous jacket Deborah. You look fabulous! That drape and pattern - so so stunning together!

    I realised only today....I really look forward to your Sunday Church outfit because you look so divine every Sunday! :D

    A great jacket for you!  I especially love the hemline all the way around.  The print works well on you and is a nice change-up from all solid colors, while the style still totally says "Deborah!"  A great piece to add versatility to your wardrobe.

    I am going to have to study your outfits as a lesson in layering and draping.  You seem to have such a knack for getting it just right.  This is no exception.  The jacket appears tailored from the front and drapes in the back.  I also find that curved back hem to be a beautiful detail.

    More love for your jacket : )

  • donnat replied 8 years ago

    It's gorgeous! And looks fantastic on you.

  • shedev replied 8 years ago

    Killer.

  • carter replied 8 years ago

    Hold on! Can we talk about that fab necklace?! Love it! Want one!

  • Dee replied 8 years ago

    Love it!

  • Lyn D. replied 8 years ago

    The jacket looks Fab Deborah!
    I like the longer length at the back that we couldn't see from the stock pic.
    This type of pattern is the best for pairing with your black and whites, so it is a nice refresher piece.

  • Jaime replied 8 years ago

    What a nicely designed piece! I love the branching out you've been doing lately!

  • TraceyLiz65 replied 8 years ago

    Adding some color and pattern into your style. You keep us on out toes. Loving your journey! Fabulous topper.

  • amiable replied 8 years ago

    First color and now pattern!  This winter is looking like a really fun style shift, while still fitting perfectly with your gorgeous drapey black.  I love it!

    Wonderful!

  • Colette replied 8 years ago

    Really great outfit, you look stunning. And that jacket, beautiful addition. I feel the same way you do about pattern, I have a hard time with it.

  • Angie replied 8 years ago

    I love the first outfit. How FUN to see you in a pattern, Debs. Gorgeous new piece. Like the bit of neck bling too.

    Beautiful! As Jaime said...I'm enjoying watching you branch out a little into different colours and pattern too..fun! Love the draped jacket and shirt combo. There is lovely drape and shape. I really like the necklace underneath your collar too.
