On the 8th Day of Christmas – A Velvet Jacket

Have you noticed that velvet is having a moment? You may not feel 100% confident about wearing velvet on an ordinary day, but the holidays are filled with opportunities to pull it off—dressed up or dressed down. I picked up a black velvet blazer from Ann Taylor a few years ago and have found it to be the perfect jacket to go over a cocktail dress or to wear with dressy jeans and a nice blouse. If I have a party or event right after work, I don’t have time to spend an hour digging through my closet for the right outfit. A velvet jacket goes with anything. That being said, I am so ready to branch out to something a little more daring. This lacey velvet jacket from Free People is exactly what I need! I love the chartreuse color, but the washed purple would be lovely too. This jacket has a moto style and it laces up on the sides and at the wrists. They styled it with jeans and a pair of black crops, but wouldn’t it be pretty over a fall maxi dress? There are so many velvet jacket options right now—you can play it safe or take a walk on the wild side, but whichever way you go, you’ll make someone very happy with this gift!
