I found this jacket-gem at the consignment store (which if any of you know me, know I refer to it lovingly as "my" consignment store).  I haven't been making to many apperances there as of  late, since I am trying to curb my shopping habit and my current wardrobe has literally broken my closet (I'm not kidding, Jay fixed it) but I simply cannot pass up a good deal, and this my friends, was a deal of all deals.
