Women Are Swapping Their Boring Water For This Ice Pop Electrolyte Mix!

We’re big fans of Vince here in the SheFinds office, so when WWD reported today the brand will branch out into denim, we were thrilled. Although their pieces are pricey, they make up for it in quality. This Vince Paper Leather Asymmetrical Zip Jacket ($995) is made of lamb leather, which is super soft and moves well with your body.  It also has removable sleeves, and can be worn as a vest–making it a two-for-one deal.  If you still aren’t convinced, let’s do the fashion math:

If you wear this jacket for 100 days out of the year (a little over three months–and that won’t be hard since you can wear it through spring and fall) for only three years, it’s the same price as a soda at the movies. Whether you are running errands, or going out on the town, this is the kind of jacket that makes you look cool and the leather only gets better with age.
