Jacket? Vintage (two similar ones on Etsy, here and hereShoes? Land's End (here)
Jeans? 7 for all Mankind  (no holes, darker wash hereShirt? Thrifted
 Necklace? Clyde's Rebirth (similar here)

I realized, as I uploaded these pictures, that this is an outfit comprised of 5 of my favourite pieces worn at the same time. I also realize, that as a fashion blogger, saying something is 'my favourite' can be a little empty. It's true, I have a lot of favourites, mostly because I have so much room in this beating heart...
But seriously, I like a lot of things. This crazy jacket posted a while back is certainly a favourite, but I don't have much opportunity to wear it, plus, wearing it with a seat belt is seriously complicated. These favourites are slightly more practical and thus are rotated heavily.
We all know I wear the Clyde's ReBirth necklace enough to upgrade my relationship with Merl from friend to spokesperson. The jeans and loafers (still 50% off and still comfortable) are more recent additions but they get worn all the time already. Mostly because skinny jeans that don't bag out and cute flats are probably a retail girl's uniform (and I shall never complain because I went through the maroon phase of the Tim Horton's uniform... Canadian readers, you remember that I'm sure...). The fringe shirt, an old top from a mother-of-the-bride ensemble, is a surprise basic that I throw quite often after its debut on the blog here. And finally, the 60's dalmation coat... Every time I wear it I get people offering to buy it from me. But even though I didn't wear it enough this winter because the temperature rarely went warmer than 'this is absurd and I'm going to stay inside with my blankets and cats', I'm still happy I decided to keep it.

And there you have it; 5 favourites, 1 outfit. This outfit is stacked, kinda like the Chicago Bulls in 1992*.



*totally just googled for an appropriate sports' reference..

This native Chicagoan salutes your hard-researched sports reference. Best "stacked" analogy I can think of.

Also, nice mixing of animal prints. It's nice to know someone else thinks that is a legit idea.

I second the high-five for giving props to the dominance that was the Chicago Bulls of the early to mid 90s...and your outfit is awesome to the 5th power. :)

Such a gorgeous outfit! I totally know the feeling of wearing nothing but your favourites at the same time - it's a great feeling, isn't it. ;)

I was just going to write that should you ever decide you no longer need that jacket I would happily take it off your hands : )

I'm still on the hunt for an awesome MOB dress (with fringe of course), maybe I'll have good luck thrifting tomorrow? :o)

The Dalmatian Coat is so freaking cool! Really, I see why you get offers on it.

How do the shoes fit? I'm looking at the same ones! My feet are in between sizes, so I never know if I should size up or down. Are they narrow?
Thanks!
