Autumn Jackets

With it being Autumn now, I'm starting to look for clothing in rich warm colours. I always think that the warmer Autumnal colours make you feel warmer when you are wearing them. I also think that if you have good quality key pieces in classic seasonal colours, then you can buy the less expensive fashion pieces to keep your look up to date and you don't need to replace your entire wardrobe every year.

When Muddy Puddles asked if I would like to review their Brisk Interactive Jacket in a lovely Raspberry colour, Mum knew that I would say yes because the colour is one of my favourites (I like lilac the best however) and also because she knew I'd look good in the jacket. The jacket arrived really quickly, which I always think is a good sign if you are ordering online because it means that you aren't waiting for ages for you new purchases to come.

The jacket is cut longer in the girls style, which is nice as it is a a flattering fit as we girls are shaped differently to boys. The jacket is fitted too, which I thought was a good design feature as it stops the wind getting into your jacket around the waist and wrists.

A lot of the time I'm in such a hurry to go out, that when it comes to zips it takes me several times to actually get a jacket done up (I must remember less haste more speed in the future), but I found the zip on this jacket to be more secure and less fiddly than on similar pieces.

The jacket is warm and padded, but it isn't bulky, it's perfect for the cooler Autumn and even Spring months without the added bulk of being a Winter coat. It can however zip into another jacket, creating a inner lining which would lead to a very warm jacket perfect for winter months and would keep away the chill.

The jacket is machine washable, which is great as I'm only Ten and will probably get it quite dirty going Conker collecting or if Mum and I go foraging again soon. I love the jacket and think that if I can persuade Mum or Dad to buy me the 3 in 1 Explorer Jacket that it zips into I'll be very snug this winter.

I was sent this jacket to review.
