Blue Velvet



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!  

{Love this oversized clutch (that doubles as an iPad case)?  Check back on Monday for an amazing new giveaway!}

What I’m wearing:
Vintage blazer (similar), c/o Pickwick & Weller t-shirt (here), Forever 21 jeans (similar), Mossimo pumps (on sale here), Forever 21 necklace (similar) & bracelet (similar), c/o Koret Handbags clutch (here), Dockers aviators (similar), Nails: Sonia Kashuk Two Cent

    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 🙂

    I was looking forward to seeing the jacket. You had mentioned it in a previous post. It looks great on you and I LOVE the color. You are going to get a lot of use out of it.

    May have to try a similar look to this with my own blazer.

    Are you sure that's not MY blazer? Sure looks like it…

    Keep an eye out on my blog later today. I'll be featuring this as one of the looks I love today.
