Velvet Jacket

I bought a fitted black velvet jacket at Macy's with 3/4 flared embroidered sleeves before the holidays. I'd like to get a little more use out of it before the seasons change. Any ideas for something different. I've done the dark jeans/silk cami thing for the holidays.

Sounds like you had a great outfit for the holidays. Create a "column" under, with a dress, or a monochromatic pants/shirt or skirt/shirt ensemble, then drop the gorgeous jacket over.
With a "tricky" jacket,try a basic shirt dress under. The long sleeves (beige, gray, or even purple)coming out of the flared sleeves is very fresh. Also, Black may work, if the jacket is embroidered/bright enough. Add boots.
BTW, I love the jacket "trick" to change a monochrome base into an outfit with flair. I can sometimes rescue a shirt and pants this way.
(And, I love your jacket.)
