Jacket Quandry

Red velvet mandarin-collar jacket, Newport News. Brown tweedy skirt, Newport News. Beige lace and sequin overlay camisole, Moda International. Brown and gold-tone necklace, Target. Brown boots, Nine West.

I like this jacket, but I’m not sure how to wear it. Collar up or down? With a skirt or pants? Buttoned or unbuttoned? At the end of the season, I’ll provide a gallery of outfits built around this jacket and you can vote for your favorite. (It's also interesting to see how my summer color has faded over the months. I'll be ghostly by March.)
