Not your dad's jacket (no offence, Dad)

When I saw this jacket at Forever 21 I'll admit that I hated it at first glance. And second. But by the third glance I started to see some cuteness potential...and not just because it's only $16.50.

I'm not usually the girl who can pull off the tough, edgy, rocker look, but finally I tried the jacket on, got yelled at for trying things on in the middle of the store (I mean helloooooo it's a jacket! I'm not waiting in that long-ass fitting room line), and saw that this could look super sexy unzipped over light dresses and other girly pieces. Also, I've been having a spring jacket dilemma because my current lightweight trench falls to almost my knees and thus is hella unflattering with flats. Problemo solved with barely a dent in the bank account! Please stick with the grey or taupe though, we don't need more wannabe scene kids running around the city in swishy bright yellow jackets.

Admittedly outerwear is expensive so at this price don't expect to be trekking through the Arctic tundra in this baby, but on a crisp spring day you'll feel warm and pretty damn cute...if not even a lil bad ass!
