One jacket – three outfits

When I was on vacation in Italy last August I didn’t want to do a lot of shopping rather enjoy the nature and old Italian towns. But I didn’t feel like sightseeing one afternoon so I went to Orio shopping center near Bergamo.

Usually I don’t go to Massimo Dutti as the prices are quite high but it was a period of sales so I dared to enter. And there it was, alone in the corner, last piece (literally last piece in one size – 38) of beautiful jacket in sand colour. I don’t wear 38 in jacket, usually I go for 40, just for the comfort but I tried it anyway and it fitted perfectly. I looked at the price tag and my eyes sparkled from joy. From 150€ down to 40€, I couldn’t leave it there. The quality is great, since I wore it, it is hard to go to cheap jackets, and they don’t feel comfortable anymore.

Anyway, the colour is unusual for me so I wanted to show you what I wore with it to work. I’m not the fashionista by any means so excuse me if the outfits seem to be too simple for your taste.

Special thank you goes to my lovely colleague, Alicja, who took these pictures.
