I was out shopping in David Jones (that’s an Australian department store that believe it or not is still going).
I was looking for a black blazer, playing it safe for work when I spotted the most magnificent leather jacket by Sass and Bide. I have never owned anything by this label. They have the most magnificent clothes, a Melbourne label worn by celebrities all over the world.
The jacket is called ‘The Rapture Jacket’ and it comes in Forest Green which Trinny and Susannah confirmed for me many years ago is a colour I should embrace at every opportunity. Plus I t was reduced from $950 to $450 so you can see my dilemma.
$450 is not the sort of money I can spend without consulting my husband. We’re pretty good at discussing large purchases and I’ve never been the person who spends huge amounts on clothes. Probably one of the reasons he married me.
In the end I walked away. Now is not the time to be buying expensive leather jackets.
However I was still feeling resentful that my husband had spent $450 on wine at a cellar door when we were away camping for October school holidays. Wine..jacket...hmm. I weigh it up. I’m definitely choosing the jacket.
If this six months alcohol free works in the weight loss department I’m buying this jacket or something similar. I’ll have saved way more than that on wine we haven’t bought.
Bring on that moment of Rapture!
