[Bijou]. Fall.Vaganza! .[ONE.DAY.PROMO]

Let me begin by saying that this jacket is wonderful and I would buy this for the jacket alone. Also, the shorts are AMAZING and the best looking and fitting mesh shorts I own (and I have quite a few). The designer made an interesting choice with the shorts: You can wear them alone, with added studs (sort of like an extra layer), with the pockets hanging out (and the pockets are the best I've seen, too, again an extra attachment), and with or without the brand label on the back (a third extra attachment). You can mix and match as you like to construct the shorts. I just wish they had done the same with the top.

You basically get three tops with this outfit: A stunning little shrug-like jacket all by itself, the same with a sort of "tube" top/cropped zipper-vest BUILT IN (not added as another mesh object) and a version with the zipper-vest and jacket (again as an inseparable set) but with no "tube top" leaving one rather *exposed.* As I looked at the top, however, I thought, that the zipper-vest/tube top would make a great surfing rashie. It was only when I tried to take the jacket off and leave the zipper-vest and tube top on that I realized the jacket is all a part of the other two tops (when you wear all three you can't tell that you are wearing three jackets and two zipper-vests). It seems odd that the shorts come with four different add-ons, but the jacket doesn't. However, outside that small "flaw," this outfit is VERY well made, looks amazing, and I like it a lot.

Not impressed by the leg warmers, but hey, you can't have everything.
