Winter Jackets

"We should stop at Blue Route and see if they have any nice jackets."

 It's freezing in Cape Town, so after picking up a new disk of The Good Wife, mom and I went to have a look.

Why is it that whenever you are looking for something that you desperately need you can never find it; but when you aren't really trying to find something suddenly it is everywhere?

In Blue Route alone I found 3 gorgeous coats that I loved.

Mr. Price had a casual coat in a lovely winter burgundy that looked really nice on and had a little hood - very practical.

Double Pocket Parka Jacket - Mr. Price R159.99






























While I didn't see it in store; I just saw on their website that Kumaro from Mr. Price has brought out a new linen parka jacket! Yay! I spotted their dusty pink linen parka jacket on their website weeks ago and fell in love - but couldn't find it anywhere. The same happened with their stone coloured linen parka that they brought out a week later. So crossing fingers that I'll find this one! I love the cut and the detail in the zips. 


Linen Parka Jacket - Mr. Price R199.99






























The jacket I decided on was a vibrant cobalt blue one from Fashion Express in Blue Route. I don't usually do bright colours but I thought that I needed something to cheer up my winter wardrobe with. Its got gorgeous big black buttons and I think I'll be able to make it look both smart and casual if I dress it down.  It's made from lovely thick material, is lined and very warm.


Fashion Express R320





























So in 6 or so months time I am definitely not really going to need to find a matric dance dress. I have a lovely pair of pajamas that I could wear. But I'll just go and casually have a look... just to see if I see anything nice... before getting a DVD from Blockbusters. ;)
