"Simple Elegant Finish Elevates Basic Attire"





This lovely jacket is lightweight enough to wear in warm weather when I want to add polish to my casual attire. Many times the XL sizes are still to small with other designers in Novica, but this article was carefully crafted to provide the right balance of loose and comfortable with nice tailoring. I love the color combinations and patterns that provide just the right amount of interest without going overboard. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

Wonderful fabric design. The photo does not do justice to the rich warm colors. Lightweight fabric, perfect to wear out for a casual evening, or to an elegant event.
