Recently, I got to test the new Cicero Jacket by Sofilantjes.* You may remember I made the short sleeve version of this jacket a few weeks ago when I participated in the Orbis Skinny Harems Blog Tour (pictured to the left). There are a few different options for this pattern – long sleeves, short sleeves; color blocked or …
