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
