sakura - the embroidered bomber jacket

There is something undeniably perfect about a bomber jacket. They're excellent for that casual, put-it-on-and-feel-hella-cool opposite vibe, a la Miss Kate Moss. This season it's been all about shiny exotic ones, taking inspiration from both Japanese embroidery (see these souvenir jackets!!!!) and American baseball jackets. (Think pink ladies meet tigers and dragons...?) I've gone for this muted Zara one, half because I'm not brave/cool enough to wear a silk pink one (I wish lol) and half because I looove the embroidery, which reminded me of the Japanese cherry blossom, sakura. Esme approves. I wore mine with a plain white oversized t shirt, and some black skinny jeans, keeping most of the focus on the embroidery. Whilst the outfit itself is very very very simple (doesn't take a genius to put a white shirt, black jeans and a jacket together, non?) I can imagine these with a denim pinafore or some dungarees, especially those boyfriend ones with the ripped bits - just not in April in London. Still dreaming of summer.

Apologies for the muddy background... searched in vain for a prettier setting but there was nothing whoops
