Crazy to think that over the course of this blog I have found a bit of my identity in between the racks of the thrift store. That's why I feel like I'm being a disappointment when not a single thing in my outfit is thrifted. Ahhhh... I hate being a fail. But this time, I liked my outfit so much, I didn't feel like a failure at all. It was the right mix of slouch and shine and I felt fabulous! Or at least I felt like I should feel fabulous if I hadn't been feeling sick instead (a lot of talk about feelings going on here...)
I am a big believer that dressing up can make you feel better... but even a favourite outfit wasn't going to keep me from my gross coughing yesterday. It has been the kind of cough that has friends lean back away from a hug and reach for the latex glove and give a high five instead. That's ok. I don't need your hug... I got my shiny jacket.

Hells bells - I am DYING for that jacket. So chic badass, and I love it with the striped shirt. You look smashing.
Merci!

Love the short sleeves of the jacket so your striped tee shows through!
Stunning outfit. Love the green door backdrop!
AWESOME jacket! LOVE it!!!
You look amazing, as always! You're so right - this is the perfect mix of slouch and shine (and stripes!!)
I love these photos - you always have the perfect location for your little shoots.

I really enjoy this outfit! You really made a stand out outfit. It's definitely my turn to go to the thrift store! You are such an inspiration!
you look gorgeous, that jacket is fab!! XOXO, Natalya
A jacket is a permanent hug!
I love the shiny in your jacket! And dressing up definitely helps me feel better, too!
Mmm ... I love that jacket! Hope your feeling better - hope it's not "viral." God, I crack myself up!
No, you are surely not a failure!
I love how you manage to make super glitzy items feel so casual and still keep everything very chic.
Sorry you aren't feeling well, hope you stop coughing soon!
Chic on the Cheap
You might feel like crap, but you look freaking awesome, woman! I envy anyone who can cough out a lung and still look like a hottie. TB ain't gonna stop you! Okay, not saying you have TB, but you know- it's a hyperbolic way of referring to you cough. :)
Hope the stripes and sparkles and sassy boots have sent that cough apackin'!
sorry about the cough, at least you look completely fab! I love the jacket, especially with the rough jeans and striped top. Such a good mix! xx
That jacket is seriously fantastic! I hope you get to feeling better soon so that you and your jacket can get lots of hugs!
I think Slouch n Shine could be your blog name, it describes your style to a T! Feel better soon :)
That jacket is AWESOME!
And I totally believe in dressing up to feel better. That's why my friends and I have formal dinner parties for no reason other than to dress up: you're not allowed to our dinners if you don't dress up fancy-like. And if I seriously need a confidence booster, a killer pair of shoes totally helps. I usually reach for my high heeled boots. :)
Omg I am so jealous of your epic shiny jacket! Paired with my favourite stripes makes me want it even more.

Slouch and Shine. What a perfect turn of a phrase.
You look brilliant even if you feel less than. Hope you're much better now.
I like the shiny jacket together with stripes.So easy and so cool outfit!
Love the mix in this outfit! The jeans make the jacket perfect for casual wear!
Gorgeous outfit. I love how your jeans are rolled up it just adds a little something the outfit. And those boots are gorgeous :)

Half Dressed
You look great. And you're funny. I like that combo. And I agree that looking good=feeling good. I wrote a paper in high school basically proving the link between a good hair day and a woman's mood. It is yet to be published, but my mom really liked it.
Aw, feel better!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE that jacket. I want it.
I love this look! I never think one can go wrong with stripes, but to pair them with a glitzy jacket? TOTAL SUCCESS!

Yeah, I'm pretty much loving this from head to toe.
I love the dressed up/dressed down juxtaposition of this outfit. That jacket is fabulous and love it paired with the striped tee and those shoes!!
Small Time Style
The shiny jacket looks so good contrasted with the grey jeans! I totally dress up to make myself feel better (unless it's a full-on sick day, in which case it's pajamas all day!)
Love your shiny jacket and its button detailing. It looks fab with the stripes. Hope you feel better soon.
Never underestimate the power of a great outfit against a bad cold ...

That jacket is amazing, as is your line "I hate being a fail" - something about that killed me in the best of ways.
Killer boots perfect for the jeans. . great choice! We have it too
I'm pretty sure that jacket is Love. I'm also pretty sure that it deflects germs. So it was the right choice, is what I'm saying.
exoh,
