One thing I love about fall is that I get to wear my favorite thing in the world – light weight jackets. Ok, perhaps they’re not my favorite thing in the world (food would be on top), but still. I love jacket weather. There’s nothing like a cool fall day mixed with a blazer, or in this case, a leather jacket.
This has to be one of my favorite pieces of clothing. I had been eying this hunter green beauty for months as soon as it appeared on the L.L.Bean Signature website. I love dark green and motorcycle jackets, so this felt made for me. The $400 price tag, however, was not.
But – then! The luck fairy visited me one day last March. She brought with her a price reduction of more than half, plus a 30% off code, plus $100 in gift certificates. I wound up paying only $30 out of pocket. AMAZING.
I wore this outfit last Saturday for a trip down Congress Street to Block Party, an awesome arty street fair, followed by a trip to the drive in theatre. Note to self: don’t wear tight jeans to drive in movies. Everyone else appeared to be in sweatpants and looked way more comfortable than I was. But, hey, I liked my outfit, so whatevs.

What is your favorite thing about fall?


I love scarf weather! I have more scarves than any one person should have.
Separately, the fact that the leather jacket is green makes it an automatic win!
seriously, isn’t fall the best? layers, pumpkin flavored everything, leafy smell in the air…so perfect. just like that great deal on your amazing jacket!!!! can’t go wrong with a classic moto.
Love this jacket! What a deal! I was just looking through the ll bean signature catlog last night and it had me drowling… I love so many things about fall, boots are probably at the top of the list

I too am a BIG fan of jackets. I’ve been happily busting out my leather jacket every morning, and I love it!
