MOVING INTO FALL WITH A CINCHED-WAIST JACKET LAYER
This was an outfit I wore for dinner out with my husband. It’s still really warm here (in the upper 80s to lower 90s Fahrenheit), so I wanted the look of fall without too much weight. We sat indoors with air-conditioning, so my layers worked out well.
I like this jacket because it’s faux suede (so it’s light weight), and it has a cinched waist. That gives the illusion of an hourglass, which flatters the figure. It also adds interesting detail.
In this post, I show what it looks like both open and closed. Either way, it defines the narrowest part of the torso, and I love that!
This particular jacket is no longer at Nordstrom, where I bought it originally. But I did find it elsewhere on line (the photos there do not do it justice), and it’s marked down quite a bit. It was $240 at Nordstrom but is now $67.20 at this site. So if you’re interested in it, you might want to nab it sooner rather than later. Same with the cute matching-color interchangeable-strap sandals. (The other strap is a leopard print!) As for the denim shirt and white jeans, I found nearly identical matches to those. See the links to everything, including my makeup and new lipstick, at the bottom of this page.
Hope your fall is a lovely one so far.

Hello, Janis. Not sure how I ran into your blog, but I enjoy it. (I very much love Naples, FL, and am hoping to be able to relocate!).
1. I love the jacket, and am going to snap it up. Does it run large, small, true to size?
2. I also love the gold ring on your right hand, and would actually be interested in seeing if I might get one for myself. Are you able to provide detail?
A thousand thanks in advance. (You also are inspiring me to fix my diet and feel better . . . .)

Wonderful outfit as usual Janis, especially the jacket. We are just entering summer here in Australia, so no need of jackets at the moment.
i love your style. how are you? where had your lunch? do you do a video?
Hi, Giuseppina! Thank you for visiting my blog. My husband and I went to dinner in the evening at Waterside Shops. I didn’t film it, because we wanted private time. 🙂 Hope you have a great weekend. ~ Janis
P.S. In case you didn’t see it, the video I did was of my outfit and it is on this page.
I’m new to your blog/Instagram and have already copied a couple of your outfits. I love the classic style but can’t always “see” an outfit in my mind by myself. Thanks so much for your help! Looking forward to more posts from you : )
