The Budget Fashionista

So I’m not generally a North Face type of jacket girl…however after attending a football game last night I realized how I am in desperate need of that type of jacket…any suggestions???

I understand your dilemma.  I am also not the parka type either, but I do appreciate the need for such outwear on occasion.  A couple of years ago I purchased a knee length quilted down jacket from Patagonia.  It is incredibly warm and quite cute.  It has a very nice, not boxy or too stuffed with down.  It is much like this one, although it was offered in black when I purchased mine.

it has come in handy on numerous occasions- good luck!

Thanks lovestoshop!  I liked you jacket…however, I’m not so much of a puffy jacket girl.  I did find a jacket that will be perfect for me this fall/winter/spring…
