Style Steal: 60s Tweed Cropped Jackets

Bluefly has designer apparel up to 70% off. There are always really great deals, but things sell out fast, and there can often be very few sizes of items. Though I was able to snatch up one of the items on my list for Spring; a cropped jacket. The Parameter Ivory Tweed Cropped Blazer is 60% at $105.

In my search, I always noticed a very similar cropped tweed jacket, but by Marc Jacobs: much more expensive. It is also 60% off at $1,052 at Saks Fifth Avenue.

Trend alert: I’m totally feeling cropped jackets and coats. They’re perfect for Spring!The two jackets are different enough to not have that *steal un-appeal*, yet they both have the same look in the hot trend of a cropped jacket, and they’re also so classic and 60s feminine with tweed, wide peter pan collars, and flared sleeves.

The Parameter blazer has a classic, versatile style and tweed pattern, and still can boast a *quality* retail pricetag (for which you won’t have to pay), so if you love this style, you can’t go wrong. Also, Bluefly offers “Bill Me Later,” so you can actually pay around the time weather permits wearing it. Plus.

I love that cropped blazer—what a great find! I seriously need to think about buying that, although with Bluefly, I need to think fast!

It was definitely on my Must-Have Spring list (which I’m going to post on the blog, sometime), and it was all I found in a search, so even though it was earlier than I meant to purchase, it was Bluefly! So I got it.

Now what do you think, great colored or polka dot trench coat? I wanted a great, bold color, but then I saw this polka dot one. Hmmm. (The website wasn’t working very well, though, anyway.)

Hmmm, that is a tough decision. Knowing me, I’d probably get the great, bold colored trench coat because I’d probably be able to pair it with more clothes, but that polka dot one sounds really cute! What color are the polka dots?

They have a few different colors (pink and green), but I like the black and white. It suits what I’d like for a winter coat more than Spring. (I love black and white for a winter coat, although more of a herringbone or even houndstooth. But I LOVE polka dots!)

I want to add a note about the fit, it’s fairly loose. One could say it fits a size larger, but I like it that way. It furthers the appeal of the look. It’s very floaty. It also looks nice with the top button un-buttoned, or all but the top undone or all loose and unbuttoned. It can be worn with romantic pieces or it can seriously dress up a graphic t-shirt for one really cute look. The tweed is really pretty and colorful, yet neutral. It’s light-weight tweed, so it can be a blazer on warm days turning to cooler nights, or over even a sweater (3/4 length or I’m sure we can make longer sleeves underneath work). I think that’s about it. I’m so anxious waiting for Spring!!

Well, I broke down and bought the blazer and I just received it today! It’s so pretty, although I haven’t had a good chance to look at it yet, since I went home and opened it during my lunch hour. It’s going to be so versatile—I can wear it to work with business casual clothes and on the weekends with jeans!
