When clothes shopping, I have a tough list of criteria that only gets more rigorous as I get older. The fabric has to be amazing. The cut perfect. The piece has to stand up to everyday wear. It has to merge seamlessly into my wardrobe, but not be too similar to something else I have. It can't be too trendy, but has to have a bit of an edge. If it has that certain je ne sais quoi that's even better. I have to be able to imagine wearing it in a year (minimum). If lined, the choice of fabric needs to be spot on. French seams are preferable to overlocking.
I know, I'm the first to say I'm a Virgo gone crazy, but in this case, this jacket met all those criteria with added bonus of a sample sale price.
