Weekend Digs: Tweed & Stripes
Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone’s week is off to a great start. I’m a tad bit tired, myself. Losing an hour really makes a difference, doesn’t it? Sheesh, it’s only 60 minutes by try telling my biological clock that. I guess it’s all worth it for all that extra sunlight at the end of the day.
Saturday, I had to run a few errands… a trip to UPS (which was closed by the time I got there (grr!), a couple of returns at Target and Burlington Coat Factory, and the grocery store. I was going for comfy chic, and I have been dying to wear this Kasper tweed jacket that I bought at Goodwill for $5. Isn’t it cute? I love the color and the cut, and you really can’t ever have too many classic tweed jackets. They always look really awesome juxtaposed with not-so-classic pieces…like my tattered jeans. I’m telling you guys, I got so many compliments on this jacket while I was out Saturday. My father-in-law even mentioned that he liked it. It always makes me feel proud when one of my thrifted pieces gets a lot of love! 
(btw, I’m not a fan of these pictures at all. I was having a swollen face day. Please note the double chin in nearly all photos. Ugh! What is that, really? Grr. I fought the urge to crop my face out of all the pictures because I really liked the outfit. LOL! And, for some reason, the quality of the pictures looks kinda bad…kinda fuzzy? I think my lens needs cleaning!)
Thrifted Kasper Tweed Jacket (Goodwill, $5) | Mossimo Pocket Tee (Target, $8) | Machine Brand Jeans via Fab’rik (also available online here) | New York & Company shoes (unavailable online, see in-store, similar and super cute) | ASOS Bag | Random Brooch | “Eboni” Necklace c/o My Name Necklace + gifted Jewelint necklace | H&M Bangle (old)
As much as I love wearing heels, I am slowing getting more accustomed to wearing flats for these all-day errand excursions (*sigh* I know, I know…it’s a sad day!). I bought these flats last weekend when I stopped into New York & Company to get my $10 pants. I fell in love with the stripes and the the navy cap-toe (is it still a cap-toe when the shoes are peep-toe? LOL). They were on sale for $11…obviously, I couldn’t leave them behind.
Speaking of those $10 pants, I know my girl Cheapalicious said she didn’t get a coupon in her copy of Glamour and one other person left a comment asking what page the coupon was on. Mine was on page 48. There is a two page New York & Company ad on that page and the coupon is in between these pages. I am sorry if your issue didn’t have this coupon. I didn’t mean to misinform you guys. I have always been under the impression that all printed issues were exactly the same, but I suppose I could be wrong! Maybe you can send Glamour a tweet or hit them up on Facebook to confirm?
Thanks for stopping by! XOXO.
Perfect mix of dressy and casual. I love some tweed do this blazer is fab and the price is even better. It kind of looks like a blazer I found in the thrift store last year that now lives as a vest after I cut off the sleeves.
Those shoes are too adorable!! I rarely go into NY&Co., but you have me thinking that maybe I should now.

Very cute!! Love the fit of the jeans!! Isn't it crazy how when you wear flats, you want to stand on your toes as if you're wearing heels?!?! I do that all the time. I don't do it on purpose, it just happens. lol!

Not trying to be funny at all, but I see tops like this in the Thrift store all the time and I always thought they were cute, I just got an "old lady" vibe and never pipcked one up. I also had NO CLUE as to how to rock it without it looking too mature for my age. You have definitley done a great job at styling this blazer/top and the next time I see one, I'm snatching it up! Thanks Eb!

That jacket has me thinking that I need to go check out my Goodwill!
I love this entire look! That jacket is too cute. I love the flats too. The 1 hour time change had me feeling so sluggish on Sunday. I think I'm starting to get into the swing of things though.

I absolutely love the jacket and the brooch is a perfect touch! Those flats are definitely Ah-Mazing! I am learning to wear flats on those days I know I will be running around. You know we have to let our feet rest a little so that way we can rock those heels later in life.
