Sportsgirl sequined matador jacket

I fell in love at the Sportsgirl sale… with a jacket that was not on sale, somehow… a sequined, embroidered delight that cost $189.95.

I really never thought I’d be one for mirrors in clothing- that’s something that (a) I’d never heard of and (b) reminds me of my sister’s hippie wall hangings during her Indian phase. But this jacket is SO opulent and beautiful. Part matador, part depression era glam!

I know, conventional bargainista wisdom would be to avoid such purchases because of cost per wear, dry cleaning hassles, and so on. Yes, I’ll probably hardly ever wear it, but I will hug myself with delight every time I see it in my wardrobe, and that should surely stand for something!
