Silver Metallic Jacket

I have been doing a "Spring Jacket Series" and so far  I have shown you three jackets:  a Blush Jacket, a Brown Jacket, and a White Jacket.  

Today, I have a Silver Metallic Jacket on, except you would never know it by these pictures because it looks white.  But trust me, in real life, it's a metallic silver.  This jacket was a gift to me from my husband years ago.  I remembered when I first opened the box and saw it, I was a bit stunned.  I wanted to be nice and encouraging for he actually went shopping and picked something out for me, something I've wanted him to do for awhile.   But at the time, I wasn't sure I liked it.  I thought it looked and felt like a spaceman's suit.  I wasn't as into fashion as I am now, so I was really unsure how to style it.  So I googled "How to wear a metallic jacket" and I got lots of ideas and ended up really liking this jacket.  


Because this jacket is a metallic silver, it actually goes with just about anything, just like a silver purse or silver shoes go with anything.  I think the first time I wore it with black skinnies and used it more as an indoor blazer in winter.  Today I used as a spring jacket and paired it with a dark denim pencil skirt (Old Navy) and a blush T-Shirt (old, Express).



The blush top has a chiffon neckline and silver rhinestones on the sleeves.  I thought the silver rhinestones echoed the silver in the jacket beautifully.


 The jacket is nicely fitted, yet still has plenty of room so I feel comfortable in it.



Shoes are by Nine West (old, Younkers).




 I kept playing off the silver and wore a large feather shaped silver bracelet on my wrist.


What do you think of the creepy old barn I'm standing in front of?  It's actually only a few feet from the edge of my property.  I said on Instagram it looked like a building that would be in "The Walking Dead";  I kept waiting for a zombie to come out and eat me for lunch.  I actually think it's quite beautiful and I love it...even though it creeps me out.  Someday I'll grab my DSLR and take lots of artistic, fun photos of it.


Have a Great Day!  Amy

  1. Cool barn even though it may be a bit creepy!

    And I really like the jacket! Silver is definitely unusual, but I can totally see how it goes with about everything! And even more special since your husband picked it out!

    Have a fabulous weekend!

  3. First, I like the barn. There's something cool about taking fashion shots near old, dilapidated buildings. A juxtaposition of sort. Second, your jacket is nice. Good you kept it.

  7. Love the style of the jacket and it looks great paired with the pencil skirt.
    The old barn makes a great backdrop. I am one that would fear a human burglar or other criminal though over a zombie LOL.
