How's everyone today. I'm running around like a mad person - finishing the last minute bits and pieces BEFORE THE WEDDING!! Yikkes!!
I had planned to get all my blog posts ready to go, but as usual I've left them to the last minute and am keeping busy busy until everything is sorted. I toyed with the idea of not blogging for a month, but with FOMO in my head I've carried on - do you have FOMO???
Fear of missing out - I haven't got it bad at all I just like to stay involved and keep up-to-date with you my fellow bloggers. I like to know what people are doing and wearing, just so I can get ideas and keep abreast of the latest 'real' fashions. I'm not an avid follower of magazines as such, just like to peruse and see what's on the horizon, then I put my spin on it. So I'm here to stay for this month at least. 🤣
So today let's talk about this cute little jacket....
I'm delighted to be collaborating with Bonmarche again. Having worked with them in the past they are proving to be up there with the leaders. You can check out my previous choices here.
Last week in stripy trousers, last year in a very cute jacket, skirt and blouse & in Spain being spoilt in the sun!
You won't be surprised to know this jacket isn't any different with fabulous quality, on trend style and in-your-face colour. My pick is not only serviceable, but stylish as well.
Items marked with * have been gifted to me, however these are 100% my own honest comments.
I picked the jacket for two reasons, firstly I've wanted a biker style for ages, they just seem so versatile, complimenting a cute dress, smashing it with jeans or teamed with flares or as I've done here with a graphic tee for an alternative street style look. The second they seem to be a bloggers 'go to' jacket - see I've jumped on the bandwagon - there's my FOMO again, lol.
I have to let you into a secret, the belt bag isn't actually a belt bag but a cross-body bag. I just slid the belt through the open bag and clipped it shut. It's not very safe as when It's opened it could fall, but I pulled the belt tight enough so this didn't happen. My silver bag proved an interesting little addition, bringing a bit of bling to the outfit & it's storing my provisional 'street fashion licence' - lol! Do you think I'd pass?
Bonmarche have the biker jacket* available in sizes 10 - 24, and will set you back a mere £40 with free delivery over £40 - a great reason to go ahead a get your own. Loving the two alternative shades of cobalt blue or purple - what would you pick?
Thanks for stopping by today.
It's time for the #chicandstylish #linkup my friends.

DeleteJacqui - this outfit is great! You are the epitome of chic and stylish in your moto jacket and graphic tee with those fabulous trousers and belt bag! Well done!
ReplyDeletexo,
Kellyann
You are so kind, and I really appreciate your lovely comments. x
DeleteJacqui, this might be one of my favorite looks ever of yours! I love this biker jacket on you and the color is magnificent! The outfit is the perfect mix of chic and badass! That graphic tee is so great, too. I hear you on blogging breaks and FOMO...I often toy with the idea of a break, but then I can never get myself to take for more than a few days. But do what you need to do, my friend, we will all still be here if you take a break! Btw, I gave you a little shout out at the end of today’s post!

ReplyDeleteXOXO

Thanks Jodie - so pleased how it looks. Glad you like the bag. x
DeleteAre'nt those bikers just the best quality? I haven't spotted this colour on site yet. I know what you mean about fomo! I'm sure we can all update you Jacqui! xx
ReplyDeleteYes they really are, can't wait to get styling it again. x Thanks Hun. x
DeleteI love this look on you, Jacqui. One of these days, I'll get a biker jacket! Congrats and joy on the wedding!
ReplyDeleteArrh thanks so much Kim. I'll look forward to maybe seeing you in one. x
Deletewhat a fabulous Jacket and the colour is striking. Is it as comfy as it looks?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by Linda. x
DeleteI have a black biker jacket in a thick, stretchy material (scuba poly maybe?) that I just love but I don't have one in a glorious color and that red is fabulous! I'd definitely have a hard time choosing between it and the blue on the website (and they ship Internationally, so that's a plus). It looks wonderful on you and the graphic tee you've paired it with is the perfect complement! And I love the way you hung your bag on the belt.....that's genius!
