A few months ago, my husband killed two of my plants. I was out of town for several weeks, and while I was away, he apparently forgot that plants need water to live. So when I returned, my snake plant and my Calamondin tree were both dead, while his braided money tree continued to thrive. […]
It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.

And just like that, it’s April. Summer is almost upon us, and the retailers are filled with linen wares. Now, you know that I am usually unwilling to wear linen to work due to the wrinkles. But in this post-pandemic world, perhaps my mind can change.
I bought an Old Navy denim jacket years ago and have been so pleased with how it’s held up. Crucially, they also have denim jackets in petite sizes, which makes a big difference in fit for me. The one you linked to doesn’t come in petite, but they have a medium wash version that does – highly recommend!
I can second this comment; however, my jacket is from Gap many years ago. it’s a slightly boxy fit but it’s so classic and works with equally well with dresses as with pants. It has held up to tons of washings and heavy wear very well.
Same! I think mine is going on six years now.
Anyone have recommendations for a white denim jacket? Preferrably in the “Front Desk” price range. I bought the Old Navy jacket linked above in dark denim last year and love it, but the only white one they seem to have is “distressed”.
Gap makes a nice one for about $50-$60. It looks like the current version is called Icon Denim Jacket. I like that it is crisp but the fabric is comfortable, not stiff/hard.
I have one from Jcrew factory, it’s on sale for $44.50 today. https://factory.jcrew.com/p/womens-clothing/coats_jackets_blazers/denim/denim-jacket-in-chalk/L0490?color_name=chalk
Thanks, M and Allison!
I got my favorite denim jacket ever from Loft 3 years ago and it’s PERFECT. Two of my friends bought identical jackets after I raved mine. Highly recommend checking out Loft for what I’m sure is an updated version.
I’d love a post on how to style a medium-darkish wash denim jacket for work! I finally added a nice one to my closet this year, but the different, higher, boxier cut from my go-to crew and boyfriend cut cardigans leaves me wondering what to pair it with (pencil skirts? Dresses? Pants with slim cut tops underneath?)
After years (years!) of loving my Old Navy jacket. I wanted to try something new. From a few other blogs I read, I got this one: http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/3922204 and I love it. I got it in the sweet color, and while a little skeptical at first, I really like the change from the traditional. My only gripe is it doesn’t have useable pockets. It’s super soft and comfortable. Not boxy like my ON one. It’s a little pricier than I would usually spend, but I’ve already worn it 4-5 times and really like it. They have a dark and white too.
