Favorite Jackets in Petite

I have a problem with jackets... I like jackets way too much, I like jackets so much that I received three different jackets for Christmas this year. I figured I like them so much I might as well put all of my favorites into a post.

City Coat - I have had my eye on this J.Crew City coat for years and years. Every time I would go into a J.Crew I would try this coat on but it never fit the way I wanted it to. I found the petite online and asked Kyle for it for Christmas. The petite fits like a glove and it the perfect length! I have found that a lot of stores do not have petite in store but they usually do online so always ask if they can order it for you or check it out online yourself.

Hooded Puffer Coat - This Michael Kors is another jacket that I have had my eye on for years. I love the longer jacket look but I am so short that it is always ridiculously long on me. Just like the city coat, I found this puffer in petite online and asked for it from my parents as another Christmas present. The length is perfect on the body as we as in the arms. I really wanted this for an easy everyday jacket and that is exactly what it is. Its also a puffer so even though it is long it will condense into a small bag for easy travel.

J.Crew Fleece Coat - I love the teddy jackets and again have been wanting one for a while and when I saw this one in J.Crew I knew I needed it. This jacket isn't petite but it fits just perfect. This is one of the warmest jackets that I own and the softest. It honestly feels like you're wearing a blanket when you put it on.

Fall and Winter Jackets

It has been pretty chilly here in upstate New York, there was none of that warm cool fall air it pretty much just went to cold. So I have already had to pull out most of my jackets. I feel as if I will never be fully satisfied with the amount of jackets I own and I will always want more.

J.Crew jackets (along with everything else in that store) I feel are the best quality and styles of jacket. I have been living in the water-resistant rain jacket, I just wish it came with a lining or was a little heavier so I could wear it more as it gets colder. Speaking of J.Crew jackets I have had my eye on the city coat for as long as I can remember and it is definitely going on my Christmas wishlist this year. And they have petite sizes which are even better so it won't go down to my ankles. 

These teddy bear jackets were super in last year and I am so excited to see that they are back in again this year. I love this one by Kensie which looks so cozy I may just get it to use it as a blanket. Comfort is definitely an aspect I look at when buying a jacket, I hate when it's tight and you can't lift your arms. I'm also really sensitive to certain fabrics when it comes to jackets so I always make sure to have that in mind when picking out a new one. 

J.Crew Factory Fall Wishlist

I have always been a fan of J.Crew, especially the factory stores because it is good quality clothing without breaking the bank. Lately, I have become more and more obsessed with this store then I have ever been. Maybe it's due to the mercantile store that opened within the past couple of years in our mall or because the clothes are super cute this season. Regardless I am loving everything J.Crew and I have compiled some of the items that will most likely be purchased in the future.

1. Tiered Chambray Dress - I fell in love with the ruffle chambray dress that I purchased from J.Crew over the summer so I was super excited to see this one that was more appropriate for the fall. I love dresses that transition perfectly into different seasons and this one is perfect for that. 

2. Open-Front Sweater Blazer - I already have this sweater blazer in tan from last fall, I love it so much that I'm seriously considering getting it in grey. It is heavier than a cardigan but lighter than a jacket. I believe that it's a perfect balance to make it work as either a jacket or a cardigan. 

3. Teddie Sweater - The teddie sweater is a reoccurring favorite of mine, it is a must-have staple in your closet which looks good alone but also pairs perfectly with vests and light jackets. The teddie sweater comes in a bunch of different colors (I may end up with one in every color that's how much I love them). 

4. Mini Skirt in Corduroy - To be honest skirts are not something that I gravitate towards but I do love that corduroy is making a comeback. This skirt is definitely high on my wishlist and I can see so many future outfits that include this piece. 

5. Ruffle Neck Pullover - I love simple tops that have a little extra something to make them look like you put together an outfit without actually trying. This is the perfect top for that due to the cute ruffle that peeks through the neckline and the bottom of the sleeves. 

6. Off the shoulder bow top - This top is perfect for going out to drinks with the girls or to a date night. I find it to be really hard to find outfits that are cute and practical for going out at night in the colder months. This off the shoulder top is the perfect going out top of fall and winter. 

7. No-show socks - I have talked about my no-show sock obsession but only the ones from J.Crew. Honestly, the last thing I need is another pair of J.Crew no-show socks, but these have pumpkins on them so really how can I pass them up?? Right now they are also on sale 3 for 12$ which is a good deal!

8. Ruffle Front Top - I find it's always good to have a few professional pieces in your closet in case a time comes up when one is needed. Or maybe you need to be professional in your everyday life, this top I feel is a perfect workday shirt.

9. Resin-coated Twill Jacket - Someone needs to stop me from buying outerwear but I have a very good feeling that this jacket will become mine this fall season. I've had my eye on a jacket like this for a while and it might be time to be added to my closet. 

10. Side-tie T-shirt - I love basics from J.Crew, with my job I have to wear casual clothing because getting stuff (children mess) on me is something that is most likely going to happen so I love to wear basics that can easily be cleaned. 

11. Sawyer Suede boots - I have talked about the camel colored Sawyer boots that J.Crew has multiple times on my blog before. Now I am considering getting another pair in black due to how much I wear that camel ones. They are such a comfortable boot and pair so well with so many different outfits that I feel it is worth it to get another pair. 

All Kinds of Coats

Jackets are my favorite fall necessity, I think I like them so much because they can make such statement and there are so many different kinds of them. 

I can remember always loving jackets, I'll never forget this one black and white checkered jacket that I had when I was little. It was a little longer than normal and it was a "fancy" jacket and I thought I was a movie star when I wore it. I think that jacket is what started my love of jackets. 

Barbour, trench and puffer jackets are my top choices for jackets this season. The Barbour is more of an everyday jacket whereas the puffer is for the cold more sporty days. The trench or longer styled jackets are for "fancy" days like my black and white jacket was.
