Get Thee An Embellished Denim Jacket
We got one of these jackets and look way cuter than this woman, right, does (the one who isn’t Miley Cyrus, aka Hannah Montana, seen left).
Well, all right, maybe we don’t, but we certainly garnered tons of attention when we wore it to an event at the Chairman of the Board’s school fundraising event.
We love the dark denim that is as soft as flannel. We were initially hesitant because usually denim that is that vibrant is stiff, but not Joluka’s.
These jackets come in a variety of accented fabrics (we have the one in the image). Their website features all of the available designs

From their website, about the designers (who we met – they were darling, btw)
UMASS Amherst, 1986, Shannon lost her bracelet in the college dorm laundry room. Cheryl found it lying on the ground and went knocking on doors until she found its rightful owner. From that day forward, Cheryl and Shannon became the best of friends. Today, Cheryl lives just outside of Boston, MA and Shannon lives in Hilton Head, SC. Both are married and devoted Moms to their children. "We’re having fun, working hard and are blessed to have such great support from family and friends throughout this business adventure."
