obsession #09282013: the leather bomber jacket

obsession name: Leather Bomber Jacket – Victoria’s Secret

why the obsession:

As the recent weather has definitely taken a turn on the cooler side, I can’t help but be excited for this upcoming coat and boot season. Looking over my closet, there are a few things I want to get for fall. On the top of my wish list is a black leather jacket – I probably should have owned one a long time ago, seeing how this can be classified as a “closet staple” but anyway for one reason or another I have never owned a black leather jacket. As I browse the different stores and sites there are so many different styles and fit options, it’s hard to narrow down which one I like best. I would say the front-runner at the moment is this Leather Bomber Jacket from Victoria’s Secret. I think it pretty much meets the overall criteria of what I would look for in a leather jacket…

I’m obsessed for several reasons. I love the overall fit and look of this jacket, with an cinched waist and asymmetrical zipper. Leather jackets give off this tough and edgy look, so I think it should have a feminine fit to balance it all out. I’m also obsessing over the faux fur hood, it should be pretty handy for those slightly chillier nights plus it also softens the look as well. Did I mention the two front zip pockets? A place for my hands is key to a great jacket. The price also seems relatively affordable compared to other quality leather jackets at other stores, and it’s also on sale right now at additional 20% off. To top it all off, I love getting outerwear at Victoria’s Secret - most of my wool coats have been Victoria’s Secret purchases. Not sure how many out there know, but I would definitely recommend them as a great place to get form-fitting, fashionable, classic and timeless outerwear at a great price.
