This Week I Thrifted...

blazer1
(Thrifted blazer, Joe Fresh Tee, Clyde's Rebirth necklace)

What? Vintage wool blazer
Where? Talize
How much? $6
Why? It's not quite the white vintage blazer that is at the top of my GCOGH wishful thrift list but it's pretty good find none-the-less... I almost left it behind too, even though it is great quality blazer at a low price (that being the primary reason to buy blazers from the thrift store) but when my friend questioned why I was leaving it behind, I had no good response. Honestly, I think it's just been so hot lately that I can't even fathom sleeves, collars and wool. In the autumn however, I will be thankful I thrifted this beauty because that contrast collar and exaggerated nipped in waist (check the seaming detail...) are going to look pretty sharp up against a scruffy pair of jeans... Ugh, jeans... another thing I can't even think about in this whine inducing heat...
Somebody please, bring me a cold beverage...

This is STUNNING! I love it and can't wait to see you wear it. Also, what's the day-rate for borrowing ;-) Hehe.

I hear ya on the heat, it's been the same way where I live. My jeans and blazers haven't seen the light of day in months. What's sad is I keep pinning pictures of really cute fall/winter outfits on Pintrest but I have no idea if/when I'll be able to wear any of them.

Um, what? Is this post meant to break my heart?? That is a FABULOUS find! Sadly, Austin is so hot, it's very hard to find blazers here at any time of year :) Beautiful piece!

Are you kidding, $6? That blazer is killer!

... And I'm putting a trip to the thrift store on my calendar for Saturday, per my jealousy over this. Can't wait to see how you style it!

I would say thank you to your friend for asking you why you wanted to pass it up at first time. That is gorgeous!!!! You sure would be thankful you bought it! Love, love, love it! :) I understand about the weather since it has been so hot here as well. Jeans and jackets and wools are definitely not even in mind right now. It's just darn hot and humid.

So are jackets with contrasting collars coming back into style? I sure hope so because I've been hanging on to my houndstooth with a black suede collar since the 80s and I would love to wear it.

Gah, it's gorgeous!

Unknown said...

ooooh! that contrast is AWESOME!
