a spring jacket

Last summer I was with someone whose closet is filled with Chanel, Michael Kors, Prada and Dolce & Gabbana.  She was wearing white jeans and what looked like a short Chanel jacket.  She looked, as she always does, perfect.

I had to know.  Was her jacket Chanel?  So I asked her, and she told me she had gotten it at Zara’s, a store I had never shopped in.  I spent some time looking for the jacket both instore and online, but couldn’t find it.


Today I am on my way to see Casa Valentina, the new Harvey Fierstein play.  I pass Zara and stop In to check this year’s selection of Chanelesque jackets. I find one. It’s off white with a brown checkered lining and ¾ length sleeves, and it fits perfectly. Plus, it costs less than the ticket to the play I’m seeing. I buy it without remorse.
