It's got that trendy faded thing going on and it's thin enough for (most) summer days. The jacket totally adds some casual style points to a summer dress...
Ever since I received the jacket, I'd been dying to use it in an outfit - all outfits! - since I do love layering. However, New York has been ridiculously humid and hot. To the point that I would have a slick of sweat on me the moment I stepped outside. I know. Gross.
Luckily, yesterday the humidity had lifted, I came home from work to find a non-sweating husband, and we decided to celebrate by getting sushi and semi-stalking the movie filming on our street (it stars Zooey Deschanel and Paul Rudd, go figure!). It was also the first time that I could wear my new Gap denim jacket! I was very excited. Jesse obligingly caught me in the act of my sartorial happiness, and I didn't crack a sweat!
It's cute, am I right? I like scrunching the sleeves up a little. What do you think?
I also heard about an iPad app for Gap called 1969 Stream, and after making Jesse download it to his own marvelous device, I was stoked to see that my first blog post about Born to Fit Jeans was featured on the main page! SEE:
It's a free app that allows you to check out a bunch of celebs in Gap, other Born to Fit bloggers, Tweets about Gap, a Gap locator, and probably the most dangerous feature: you can shop directly. Looking through the clothes so easily was pretty tempting! I know where to turn for future retail therapy via the couch!
Finally, tomorrow I'll be throwing a little contest for one of you readers to get yourself some Gap denim for free! Check back tomorrow for details and how to win!
(Full disclosure: they sent me this bit of sweetness for free, but it's not like I had to blog about it, or, rave about it, OR hold a contest so that one of my readers could win some of their own denim!)
I love it! I dig the color and it looks like it fits you really well! I think jean jackets are great, they look so good over a dress.
ReplyDeletethat's so amazing that they used your stuff !!! i've had some pieces quoted on bigger sites (yahoo sports or the hockey news) and it's SO flattering... :)

I've always liked jean jackets. I still have one that I've owned since 8th grade. I love your sunglass too!
ReplyDeleteAnd Zooey and Paul in a movie together! I've died and gone to movie heaven!
Liz - thanks, lady! I know you were talking about finding a good denim jacket!
ReplyDeleteErin - Yeah, I was super surprised last night! I showed Jesse and Erica all excited. Ha.
Ginny - I used to have a Gap denim jacket from like 7th grade. But I hit a growth spurt that took me above 5ft tall in high school and couldn't wear it any more! I was way late. I can't wait to learn more about the movie!
Oh, and Ginny - my sunglasses are Betsy Johnson. I do believe she makes my fave pairs of (affordable) sunglasses. My fave designers of non-affordable sunglasses are Dita and Chloe.
ReplyDeletehot jacket! you look so retro :)
ReplyDeleteThat jacket over the dress is adorable! And also those sunglasses---I'll be checking out Betsy Johnson glasses for sure :)
ReplyDeleteAh see I thought I was being cool wearing a baggy jean jacket so when I hit my spurt it actually fit ha.
ReplyDeleteI still love The Gap. Their jeans are cheap and they fit me and I never find that anywhere else.
ReplyDeleteOh, also, since you're down with the live music scene I wanted to tell you about these guys:

They're a local Philly band that's releasing a new EP soon, and they're in the MCS genre, so you might like them. Also, the guys are insane (in a good way). They might be your type. Check them out!
I've had my Gap jean jacket since 2003 - I think it's time I purchased a new one :)
ReplyDeleteLove that jacket on you! I think I'm the only one who CAN'T wear it. Sad face.
ReplyDeletecute jacket, cant wait for the contest!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get the dress?! Is that GAP too?
ReplyDeleteKristen - I got the dress from TJMaxx last summer! No idea the brand. :)
