Wild Card Wednesday: Christian Siriano x Lane Bryant

I have been a big fan of Christian Siriano since his days on Project Runway.  I always love to see what he's doing and I adore how he has always willingly and lovingly dressed women of all shapes and sizes.  When I heard that he was collaborating with Lane Bryant, I was particularly excited.

Jacket:  Christian Siriano x Lane Bryant (Available here)

I am not a big Lane Bryant shopper and rarely purchase clothes from this retailer, but with Christian Siriano behind the drawing board, I was excited to see what might get produced.  I enjoyed his spring line for Lane Bryant though I didn't end up purchasing any of the pieces. 

When his new fall collection came out, I very quickly scooped up this jacket and the ivory maxi dress (coming to the blog soon), and there were a few other pieces that caught my eye.

Dress:  Forever 21+

This jacket had me at hello.  It has a little drama, and the pink lining in the sleeves is such a nice touch.  Between the zipper detail, lining, and pretty fabric, this jacket feels much more expensive that it was. 

Booties:  New Look Wide Fit

Earrings:  Target

I decided to let this jacket be the star of the show and paired it with a body con dress and booties for a simple work look with punch.

Satchel:  The Limited

Also - excitingly, this jacket required only one small inexpensive alteration.  There is a single belt loop in the back.  I had that raised to fit me at my natural waist, and it made a big difference in fit!

Glasses:  Valentino

Have you tried any of the pieces from Christian Siriano's collab with Lane Bryant?  What did you think?
