I Can’t See It, but I Like It

I’m in love with affordable suiting, and Spiegel’s a good choice if you’re a size 14 to a size 24W. This suit jacket, for example, is just $64 in black and has a mysterious “back ruffle” which is as tempting as it is confusing. There’s a secret detail at the back which isn’t pictured in any of the images, but it sounds cool enough to risk a purchase and see what’s up. Not only does it have impressive detailing, but it also has bound seams. Oooh, and you can machine wash it–it’s a polyester weave that’s pretty much classic.

I’d get the top, too, but it’s only available up to XL. What a pain, since the jacket’s up to 24W. No matter. . . you can grab great bow-neck tops at Evans London, any day of the year, or Newport News. Boo to the unfortunate, non-plus friendly pairing for sure.
