Dear Mackenzie, I Heart You

I heart you so much that I bought you in two colors. I must say, I could afford you, you were kind of cheap at $70 and I just couldn't decide between the pretty and springy "bronzed clay" and the "will-never-go-out-of-style" black versions of you.

Ladies, meet my new love, the Mackenzie blazer. That's the blazer that I bought last week. I am not sure why it's lingering in the sale section in all the colors and sizes: $119 seems like a tempting price already (especially with some additional % off). I had seen it for the same sale price in stores but I waited for a new markdown as things tend to be marked down more quickly in stores than online. Luckily the store where my PS works had it in my size in both colors when the price went down to $79.99 and even if I hadn't planned to buy two, I ended up bringing home both.

The website description says: "Crafted from drapey wool, one of our new (and favorite) fabrics of the season. It's a special wool blend that has a beautiful drape (and amazing handfeel)." Completely true. The wool of this one is amazing and it drapes beautifully.
This is the bronzed clay from the fitting room. I'm wearing a 0. The sleeves are a little bit long, but I think that a petite would be too short elsewhere:



I just love this shade for spring and it looks really good on me, so I had not doubt about this one.

But the black is another story. If the bronzed clay color is somehow hard to find at another retailer, black blazers are everywhere and to be honest I bought it thinking that I would give it a try at home and probably return it. But it's growing on me. First of all I don't have a black blazer (I know, shocking). Second, to me a blazer must look good with jeans because I wear jeans 90% of the time. Boyfriend blazers typically looks good with jeans but I can't rock the look: they are usually too long on me and they overwhelm my short frame. I love the proportions of this one and I like that is not structured (it has no padding at all in the shoulders for example), which gives it a bit of coolness even if it's not a boyfriend:




Third, it also looks good with more classic pants (obviously, I took these pics Tuesday and you are familiar with the rest of the outfit):





Fourth, it's a black blazer that looks good with black pants (especially my Theory ones) without being part of a suit.

So I think that I'm going to keep it but I would like to hear from you. What do you think? Do you think that the black is a smart purchase? Would you buy two colors of the same style? Remember that I paid $70 for each of them (i.e. a third of the original price) and even if I know that I shouldn't keep something only because it's a good deal, it is something that I like and is sort of missing from my closet.
Also, do you own the Mackenzie? Have you ever considered buying it? And if not, why?
