Girlawhirl understands the power of a jacket. It doesn't just top off a pair of pants or a skirt. On many days it makes the whole outfit. But truth be told, jackets have never been Girlawhirl's favorite work item. She much prefers a cardigan or dress, mostly because she finds them softer and more comfortable than the structure of a jacket…
But this season she's found a beauty of a jacket. It's soft and not too structured, but not at all slouchy. Instead of a row of buttons this jacket softly closes with hidden snaps and a belt that ties at the waist, creating a polished look that's not at all stuffy. The tweedy wool blend fabric has a bit of stretch too, so even if she's reaching for that pen she just dropped under her desk, there's no stretching too far.
Girlawhirl also made sure to purchase a $25 Ann Cares Card that saves her 15% off all purchases over $100 at Ann Taylor, Ann Taylor LOFT and Ann Taylor Factory stores as well as online at anntaylor.com and anntaylorLOFT.com – plus free shipping - through the end of 2007. Eighty-five percent of her $25 purchase will go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation®.
