Velvet during the day is something that I’ve been wearing for a while, so I’m embracing the current trend and diving in. I bought this jacket at H&M 6 years ago in Toronto, long before we had any available in San Diego. It’s held up so well over the years, and I’ve worn it casual as seen here, and dressed up with shiny skirts and sequined dresses. Today, I matched with stripes, dark denim leggings, and a nice big patent leather purse. The weather has officially cooled, so now is the time to take advantage of layering with jewel tones and lush textures.

Velvet is a trend I am absolutely adoring and will procure some of my own as soon as I can save up some clothing funds.
The jacket looks absolutely adorable on you and the shade is so rich and beautiful. It is true my H&M goodies from 6-8 years ago hold up much better than the things they are coming out with now a days.
Love from Toronto, Canada
Thank you for your kind words! You are right! I’m finding that the clothing from my days of running over to Canada and shopping like crazy at the H&M’s there, stand the test of time much better. One of my absolute favorite jackets I bought at the same time I got the velvet one was from the Eaton Centre location in Toronto, and I still get tons of compliments on it today (but I always went to the Fairview location because my aunt lives closest to that mall).
Thanks again for visiting! Toronto is one of my favorite cities. I have relatives there and have been go there as often as I can.
