Which Should I Keep?

First of all, I want to say that the value of the bag I just gave away was about $25.  I know it's not anything too fancy, but most things given away on other blogs have a value of about $30, and my blog isn't nearly as famous as theirs.  I actually bought this bag with my own money; it wasn't given to me by some company to give away.  And it actually looks pretty expensive in real life anyways.  If you don't like what I'm giving away, don't enter, simple as that.  The only reason I am addressing this is because of a rude comment I received earlier.  No need to bring more negativity in the world, my friend! :)

Anyways, I've been looking for a really nice army green jacket for ages, and I've finally found one I like...well, two actually.  I need your help deciding which one to keep!  I'm doing a terrible job of modeling with them, so just bear with me!

This one of from Anthropologie, and was slightly more expensive.  It's a darker green and it's more figure flattering.  It's also a lighter weight, so I'd probably wear it alone in the fall, and layer sweaters under it in the winter.  It also has some feminine details to keep it from looking too military.
This one is from J. Crew.  It's lighter colored, but a heavier weight.  It's definitely more basic and utility looking.
Which do you like best?

the second one ! I think you'll get more wear out of it, and don't have to worry about it going out of style !

both are so cute!!!
but keep the jcrew one for sure.
the first one is to girly.
which i think defeats the purpose of having one of these jackets cuz they are meant to toughen up a feminine outfit! hope that helps. :)

second, the first one is cute but it reminds me of a stylish/expensive jacket i bought one year from urban outfitters-- i wore it to death for 1 season, and the following year, had no interest in it. The second one is ruggedly cute and far more practical. go j crew :)

Oooooh, the first one, dolly!
Just my opinion. You could pull off an army green garbage bag, though, so either one you choose is up to you! :)

The comment you left me on my blog actually made me cry a little bit. It gets so difficult, and the fact that you offered me a helping hand because you know how hard it is to lose someone was truly something to me. I'm so glad I've found you in the blogosphere, because I think you are truly something else.

Also, you're giveaway is nearly finished! I'm sorry I'm so bad at this. I've had a lot on my plate, and at the moment, International shipping is close to forty dollars to where you live. Yikes! I'm waiting for it to get close to 20, and then I will send away, my dear. I haven't forgotten you, just to let you know.

Much Love,
Norah xx
