Jacket @ Starbucks

Last week while waiting at Starbucks for some people I was meeting to arrive, this gal with a wonderful jacket walked in.  I tend to be attracted to a very specific style.  One might say that it is a little out there in terms of color and pattern. I admired her jacket from afar and thought to myself, that is the cutest jacket I have ever seen.  As one of my friends arrived I pointed the jacket out and mentioned that it would make a great blog post.  She suggested I ask the woman if I could take a picture, and sure enough she allowed me to take her picture as she told me the story of the jacket.  Her sister had been to Paris earlier in the Spring and had bought this jacket.  When her sister got back to LA she decided that the jacket would just not work for her on the west coast, but thought that her sister in Kansas City might like it.  And boy, howdy, was she right!  This jacket totally works here in the mid west, we midwestern gals are not afraid to wear bright prints and something other than black.  Okay, maybe that's just me :o)
