Some pieces do last forever.
Years ago and I mean decades really, I found a ruby red silk 3/4 jacket and I fell in love. To my eyes, it was the most perfect piece and one I simply had to have. It was a serious purchase for me and one I could not make a mistake over. It is 20 years plus and I still wear it and feel fabulous when I do. No mistake there.
A slight waist and long line jacket cut to finish a little above my knees, it is brilliant in every way. The ruby red colour dominated and the small leaf print in a cream gave it the distinction that a plain colour could not. I wore and wore this coat with so many combinations. It would hide in the back of my closet some seasons but was never left for long. There are not so many pieces I remember in the same way or hold with the same affection.
When I saw this jacket, almost identical to my own, I was thrilled. Halsbrook is an online destination we love at VA and this season their pattern choices are spectacular. I started with The Ruby and Gold Leaf and couldn’t stop. It is a site I love both for their curation and their choice of brands.
Patterns are not easy to love but they have their place.
The problem with a pattern is it is so easy to wear it wrong. Wrong shapes, wrong colour and wrong everything. Certain pieces of clothing translate well with pattern and colour and others don&rsq...
