My velvet crush

When it comes to wearing something soft and sumptuous you can't get better than velvet. The deep pile just makes the most simple of items feel glamorous. Out of all the clothing you can get in velvet, jackets are my favourite. So now let me tell you about my new velvet piece that I just CANNOT wait to wear! I found it down the 'Bello a couple of days ago. I was riffling through the rails and my heart skipped a beat as I caught a glimpse of what I thought was a divinely refreshing twist on the traditional velvet blazer. My gaze focussed in as I moved ever closer to grab it before any other Potobello fashion hawk spotted it. It was like I was staking a claim on a potential beau, trying to beat the competition to it.

My heart all a flutter, I slipped the jacket on hoping it wouldn't be too tight across the back...and for the love of fashion it fitted! Being a lover of all things luxe it was infatuation at first sight, so much so that I am now fervently filling my social diary just so I have an excuse to wear it out. On top of that, it was a veritable bargain. There's a hell of a lot of jacket for my money: the shoulders, the cuffs, the lapels, the paisley!!!
