I was captivated by the black Joff jacket. It comes in red too but since my favorite color is black, I naturally gravitated towards the dark side. Funnily enough, I normally take a size 38 but the one I tried on was a 40. Though I'm not exactly endowed with Marilyn Monroe sized boobies, I would've struggled to button up had it been a size 38. Ahhh.....Isabel Marant...please consider those with a slightly more *ahem* padded upper torso. A friend mentioned that the shoulders are a little too wide but I've noticed that nearly all my IM jackets have exaggerated shoulders anyway. I love the slightly nipped waist which adds a touch of femininity and the 4 (!!) pockets (hands up those who love pockets as much as I do).
I've never really bothered much with pants but lately, I'm tired of the same boring skinny jeans. Thus began another quest to find a pair with an added oomph. These R13 waxed jeans are waaaaay high up on my wish list at the moment. I haven't found a cheaper alternative. Another missing gap in my closet is a pair of black heeled ankle boots. I still think Isabel Marant Dicker boots are universally flattering and comfortable. Too bad she doesn't make them in my size. Their smallest size runs big too..... Argh. Bummer. I might give these Office chelsea boots a try instead.
What's your fall/winter wish list? Scored anything lately?
Love your shoes and the jacket is gorgeous, so many lovely things to put on the wish list!
ReplyDeleteUgh - now I want that jacket! Thanks so much for the sizing tip! As usual, all of your picks are spot-on!!
ReplyDeleteI need those R13s!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the style & shape of the jacket Marlene & the longer length is great for the colder months too! Ax
ReplyDeleteI love your' wish lists. x
ReplyDeleteIs it just me or are the Isabel Marant jackets always worn better a size up? I generally find them to be so slim cut! I really adore this one though, and the four pockets - kinda means there's no need for a bag which is sorta perfect if you want to go hands free (which honestly, I dream of being able to do one day.. haha)
ReplyDeleteMwahahaha..........that's a self effacing laugh from me only because pigs will grow wings and fly if I can go one day without a bag even wearing a jacket with 4 pockets. If anything, her sizing is consistently inconsistent :P
