The Topshop Reversible Sateen Bomber Jacket

 If you would have told me a year ago (even a few months ago) that I would buy a bomber jacket....I would've told you "you're crazy!" Not that I had anything against them, I just hadn't thought about owning one in recent times. But this one changed my thoughts.....

 

I remember I had one when I was around 12 I think. I pestered my Mum into getting one for me, and I was ecstatic when she took me to Brixton market to pick one up!
It was perfect! Black with bright orange lining and the standard zipped pocket detail on the upper arm, I loved everything about it <3  Back then I was all skin and bone, so I'm pretty sure it was probably too big for me at the time. But paired with my mock croc DM's I didn't give a damn! I was the bees knees lol!

Cut to over a month ago when I was watching a random haul vlog by beauty blogger Samantha Maria aka BeautyCrush, and she picked this up in Topshop Oxford Circus-and my jaw dropped, it is such a beautiful jacket, and the fact that it's reversible-makes it even more desirable.

So after being so good and not splashing the cash on my birthday, I decided to splurge on it! It was sold out for a while, so when it restocked online I immediately ordered it. The price (for me) is shocking at £85!

The blue is Gorgeous and vibrant, the embroidery is great also, however......when I opened my package the embroidery was already unravelling on the black side so I returned it before it got worse :-(

I have since reordered it again, but I'm a bit apprehensive about paying that much for the jacket only to have the embroidery unravel on me again! so we'll see......

All that being said, it is truly a gorgeous versatile piece, and can be worn dressed up or down. A lot of fun could be had styling this one :-D

If you decide to splurge on this, my advice would be to size up! I am usually an 8/10, but I decided to go for 12 with this jacket as I think it looks better oversized. The elasticated waist and cuffs still gives it a fitted look without being too tight which was the case with the size 10 I tried on. Also be veeery careful with sharp edges e.g. nails and jewellery as the material is very delicate, and any snag shows up very easily.

I have since bought another bomber from Zara, so look out for an outfit post with that one!

Before I go I would like to thank my son for taking these pictures for me!, He gets better and better every time! I can't believe he was only 9 when he took these....he is now officially my new photographer!
