Weekend Open Thread: Veronica Beard

Something on your mind? Chat about it here.

I adore this knit jacket from Veronica Beard — and it's on sale.

I'll admit there's a lot of things I normally don't like going on here — brown! the patch pockets high on the chest! the fact that if you wear it with denim it might look like a Canadian tuxedo/double denim look!

All that said — I really adore this sweater jacket. The blue and brown threads look almost ombré, and I could see the sweater shifting with the light — in some parts it almost looks silver. I think this would be very crisp with white denim, polished with navy, black, gray or brown trousers, and honestly, I kind of even like it with the pale denim as styled here. (The double denim look seems to be trending right now, for better or worse!)

The price isn't even too bad, despite the fact that it's Veronica Beard — the sweater was $599, but is now marked to $299 (final sale, alas). Nordstrom has a version in beige and red on sale for $338, and Bloomingdale's has a version in beige for $418. (It's also available at Rent the Runway, mysteriously still full price.

Looking for something similar? Check out these options from J.Crew and Boden (both on sale). Not terribly similar, but this Lands' End sweater is on a great sale (some colors $35) and available in petite, plus, and regular sizes.
