lightweight jacket

[HouseofWool]

I am on the hunt for a new lightweight jacket. Something to wear when the temps range from about 45 and up. This weather is here now and I am loving this jacket in sage green, but with my non-existant income, it is just a touch more than I want to pay because I am not sure it will look as cute in 2 years.

Fashionistas, what are your takes on it?

I'm no help - all of my lightweight jackets are either sweatshirts or fleece pullovers from my school

If your heart is set on the EB jacket - don't give up. I never pay full price for anything (I love their Ts) at EB because their stuff always goes on sale within a few weeks....unless of course, you need said sweater now. I forget other parts of the country are already hitting 45 degrees.

Patagonia makes some great choices (waterproof and non-waterproof, depending on your fancy). For non-WP, I would go with the down jacket, an R1, or maybe their better sweater (I LOVE THESE!). To WP it, I would purchase a rain shadow jacket with their H2NO polymer. Pretty sweet.
"Pradagonia" or "PataGucci" can be pricey, so we do a lot of eBay purchasing...

If that's not your flavor, North Face makes some really comfy polar fleece options that are nicely tailored for women. Cheaper than Patagonia, and more readily available at national chains.
