Latest Crush - Nanette Lepore Aqua Sea Side Jacket

I was setting up details for the Silicon Valley Moms Blog makeover winner to choose clothes from the generous donation made by the Calla Boutique in Menlo Park, when I wondered upon a jacket that made me stop in my tracks. The Sea Side jacket, from the Spring 2008 Nanette Lepore collection, is peacoat length with classic lines and a cotton knit material that is makes it versatile. The collar is notched, pockets are inverted-pleat front  and the back has half belt to make it even more figure flattering.

I had been looking for a jacket that I could wear to technology conferences with a pair of jeans or dress it up for business consulting. This jacket can go either way, and along with bone, white, black and navy color options - it also comes in aqua (my favorite color).

So while my mission was to help another with a fashion makeover, I ended up with a mini-makeover for my own wardrobe.
