WANT/NEED

I have been eying this Rebecca Taylor charcoal velvet blazer for quite some time, but the $495 price tag is a not an option. The Newport News version is not quite as luxurious, but for $45 you can't beat it. Hmm, I wonder if it looks this good in person? I do prefer the quilting on the more expensive version and the one button apposed to the three, but you could buy eleven NN jackets for the price of the RT version...
