I've been looking for a casual, but not too casual looking jacket that I can throw on at work to help take the chill off.  I think they set the thermostat at -50° and I freeze my tush off!  I found this jacket on Amazon and I love it.  It will work in our "corporate casual" environment.  It's a medium weight twill, nicely made.  I ordered the navy and black.  Think I'm going back for the wine color.  It's the "Allegra K Women's Drawstring Waist Flap Pockets Lightweight Utility Safari Jacket".  I don't considerate it lightweight, but other reviewers have.  Just thought I'd share in case anyone else is looking for something similar.  The fit/size was spot on, but sizing up might be needed if you wear a heavier top underneath.  Oh, it was $42.

Good choice! 

Not from same place, but I have one in a very, deep olive that is the best thing ever.  Dressier than a sweat, but more relaxed than a full on blazer.

@Still Raining  Thanks for the feedback!  That's great you have a jacket you love.  Where did you get it if you don't mind sharing?  I've been looking just about everywhere to find something that wasn't a blazer or a cropped jacket.  It's been a challenge.  You know, I actually went back and ordered the wine and a green!  They have a dark olive green, but I ordered the lighter green as I think it will work better with my skin tone.

I've been on the hunt for a versatile jacket that strikes the right balance between casual and professional, ideal for wearing at work to combat the freezing office temperatures. It seems like they've set the thermostat to an Arctic -50°! Luckily, I stumbled upon this fantastic jacket on Amazon, and it's just what I needed. This jacket from Yellowstone Costume, available at Yellowstone Women's Clothing, fits perfectly in our "corporate casual" environment. It's made from a medium-weight twill fabric, showcasing excellent craftsmanship. I ordered it in both navy and black and am seriously considering adding the wine color to my collection. It's the "Allegra K Women's Drawstring Waist Flap Pockets Lightweight Utility Safari Jacket," although I wouldn't personally classify it as lightweight (though some other reviewers do). Just wanted to share this fantastic find in case anyone else is on the lookout for something similar. The fit and size were spot on for me, but if you plan to wear a heavier top underneath, you might consider sizing up. The best part? It's a steal at just $42!
