The “Jenny” Jacket


Sometimes to get a little inspiration for my weekly posts I “window shop” my favorite online vintage stores.  Usually after looking through a couple of them I begin to form loose ideas about what I want to write about.  And last week when I reverted to this in order to avoid an oncoming writer’s block I stumbled across a fabulous trend for winter. Now it may be just pure coincidence that my fave shops were carrying similar things OR like the southwestern prints post, it could be that this vintage 70s trend is making a come back. (BTW I was out shopping last week and I saw southwestern prints everywhere! I was so proud of myself!)

So, what is this item that I am so elated about?  I’m sure you’ve already been able to guess, but it’s a suede 70s jacket.  BUT not just ANY suede 70s jacket..the “Jenny” Jacket (as I’ve so cleverly coined it!). “Jenny” coming from one of my fave movies “Forrest Gump” where her hippie character is seen on more than one occasion sporting a suede brown maxi jacket with fur trim.   Anytime I see this certain type of jacket I think of Jenny and her 70s hippie self!  So, you can imagine how many times my brain processed this thought enough to make me want to dedicate a whole post to it! I desperately hope the “Jenny” jacket is coming back.  It’s such a sleek style.  Tight fitted with voluminous fur framing the face, smooth suede or leather toasting your body and (in some cases) a wrap around belt to cinch at your waist.  Just thinking about what I have in my wardrobe to go with this statement piece fills me with childish giddy excitement! I might have to get one even if it’s not back in style!  And it might have to be one of these amazing “Jenny” jackets I found among some of my fave sellers:
