Once upon a time, I had this lovely brown jacket that was both flattering and warm enough for someone who lives in the bay area. After two years it got worn out, and after that I'd been searching for another jacket that can produce the same quality. I bought a lot of (reasonably priced) jackets during the last two years; many were flimsy at best. I decided to take a chance on this one, and as it arrived today, I knew immediately that the search was over. The jacket has what I asked for: a youthful look, flattering color, comfort and warmth -- it has the same thick material as my last beloved jacket. Today is in the mid of Dec at Berkeley and it's been chilly the whole day, but I know that the jacket would keep me warm for the whole winter to come, after all, the same thickness had protected me throughout two whole days at Ithaca. I've wanted a minimalist jacket, one that is warm and not too big; one that is comfortable and fashionable enough so you can put it on and take it off with ease, and now I have it. I couldn't be any more pleased with the appearance; once I tried it on today, I thought I was Audrey Parker from Haven, isn't that she wore it in some episodes?
