Yes, I know, I don't really need any more jackets

I do know this. Really. So why oh why am I madly coveting a dark burgundy/wine velvet cropped jacket or blazer? Why? Other than the obvious answer that I'm slowly adding more burgundy/wine colors back into my wardrobe, I mean.

Well, since I'm amusing myself with idly window-shopping in between edit passes on content, if anyone has links to pretty (and reasonably-priced!) burgundy/wine/maroon velvet jackets, please share them with me.

Tales from my workplace, the fashion snark edition

Dear female co-worker I just saw in the cafeteria:

If you are going for the "naturally sun-kissed" look, remember to blend your bronzing powder past your jawline. Especially if you are wearing a shirt that is not a flattering color for your natural skin tone. The faintly greenish tone of your neck and jaw clashes with the aggressively peach bronzer. Also, teeny mincing steps somewhat ruins the effect of you wearing 4" stiletto-heeled boots and jeans with giant Bedazzled ... things on the rear pockets.

With kind intentions,
