I have been searching for the perfect velvet blazer for a long time – though there are lots of options out there this time of year, I really wanted more of a boyfriend vs. shrunken fit…and, of course, it had to be affordable. So, when my local thrift store was having their Veteran’s Day sale, I took my daughter with me for a little thrifting adventure and was lucky enough to find this vintage gem. Though it’s a few sizes too big (will be taking to the tailor soon), it was the perfect color & the longer length I was wanting – for only $3, I couldn’t pass it up!
kicking myself for not keeping the brown velvet boyfriend jacket i had in my 20's. =( these pics are so pretty!!! love the background! have fun in NYC!!!

The color of that blazer is amazing!! And I'm loving the burgundy lining as well. For $3, I totally would have scooped that up too. You look fantastic! <3

Stunning jacket, ageless and classic, and the nude accents with the shoes and clutch compliments it very well!

AHHH! Vintage velvet blazer, score! I just found a black velvet blazer, but the sleeves were too short for my arms so I gave it to my older sister! Love the blue 🙂 Might need to purchase one like this!
Amazing look as always 🙂
