I’m sure you all know that Dorothy Perkins has had 25% off everything for the past week.. And I of course made an order, I couldn’t resist ;). The main thing I wanted to order was a cropped denim jacket. I have wanted one for ages, and the last straw for me was when I saw this post by the awesome Becky. She looks so cute in hers that I knew I had to have one! I commented and she suggested that I should check Dorothy Perkins. THANK YOU for that Becky, because I found what I was looking for in this jacket!
I’m so happy for the warmer weather, since I knew I had to wear the jacket straight away when it arrived! Ready to see it on me?
Denim jacket, 22, Dorothy Perkins | Scarf: H&M (similar)
Belt: KappAhl (similar) | Brogues: Primark (similar coloured cute loafers)
Dress: 2X, Forever 21+ (three most similar I could find: 1 2 3) | Top (only seen in sleeves): 14, Primark (similar) | Leggings: 16/18, Primark
In this outfit I wanted to mix the teal stripes of my dress with mustard accessories, and I think they work together great, I felt really good in this outfit :). And the jacket? I LOVE IT. I feel that it goes with everything, and since it’s cropped I can actually button it up as well. (If it wasn’t, my belly would be on the way, haha.) The light wash of the jacket is great, since I wear mostly dark clothes, so it brightens up my outfits. The only bad thing about the jacket is that the arms are quite small, so I won’t be able to wear it with a chunky knit top for example, since my arms wouldn’t fit in then. That wasn’t a reason for me to send it back though, since I will be wearing the jacket mostly on spring-summer time, when chunky knits are not needed! Pockets would also be a plus, but not necessary. Unless you’re quite big in your arms, I would definitely recommend this jacket, made me so happy and smiley since I put it on :).
Have you got a denim jacket? Cropped or regular length? What kind of outfits will you be wearing with yours?
You are really working it in these photos Hanna! Looking good. xXx i have been thinking about getting the Joe Browns Simply Be denim jacket. It’s a little pricey at £60 but I’ll put it on the account as I’m pretty sure it will see me through a few years it will be a worthwhile investment. xXx
Thanks :)!
I don’t think £60 is too much for a denim jacket. It’s one of those things that stays in fashion for years and years and goes with everything. I say buy it!! xx
Whoop!! You look amazing!! And thanks for the shout out x x x
Thank youuuu Becky :). And no problem, thank YOU for the tip ;)
xx
Yay! Amazing outfit. There was a time I was obsessed with getting a denim jacket, around the same time I discovered/fell in love with Nigella Lawson. I would actually refer to a denim jacket as ‘a Nigella’, because Nigella would wear them so beautifully all the time. I was thinking of wearing them with dresses, blouse and tight black trousers. The furore might come back again, but I’m too skint to get any right now, even on sale. Those yellow shoes, however, look easier to get (if they’re from Primark). So pretty! x
Thanks so much Cyn :)! And Primark is my best friend, I try to go about once a fortnight to see if they have new stuff reduced ;). And those shoes are indeed from Primark – £6!!!
Oh, and I have to admit that I have no idea who Nigella is.. Lol! I have been in the UK for almost 3 years, but I don’t own a tv ;)

WOOOOOOOOOOOOAH! SIX POUNDS?! That is AMAZING. Must look for something like them next time.
And if you don’t know Nigella, youtube her RIGHT NOW. She has a cooking show, but makes no comments whatsoever about guilt nor bodyshaming (to the contrary), and makes delicious and abundant meals and deserts. Also, is really really hot. <3
OK, watched a bit. She is one hot lady indeed. And I watched some chocolate cheesecake making.. which means that now I’m craving for that! :D

Girl, I think you found your perfect denim jacket. You look smokin! :) Mine is a regular length one from Old Navy, but I can’t button it (boobs). It’s perfect for cool-warm weather, so I wouldn’t be buttoning it anyway. HA! Mine’s a light wash denim, like yours, and goes with everything. Yes, EVERYTHING. Seriously, I’m sure you’ll be wearing yours all the time, they really do last year after year.
Thank you my dear :). And yes, I’m sure I will wear it all the time.. Already planning to wear it tomorrow again ;D x
