THE VELVET BLAZER

.
Photobucket

There's something so great about coming across a jacket that just melts onto your back like it was made for you. I picked up this velvet Chloé blazer in a thrift shop a while back, I lunged for it in a very unladylike fashion and actually asked to wear it our of the shop...cool as always, Bex. Velvet must be the hardest material to photograph, so yeah. I also wore an Aubin + Wills striped top, converse and a couple of bits of vintage jewellery, you couldn't get much comfier.

This kind of outfit is great because you can switch the trainers for heels, add some red lipstick and with this kind of jacket it makes it okay to go out in for the evening. Now that's my kind of outfit.

  8. You really can't beat a nice bit of velvet, especially with breton stripes. You've also reminded me I need to get a new pair of Converse at some point x

  32. The words velvet and blazer just have to be whispered and I'm there, lovely! I love the idea of swapping the trainers for heels and lipstick, works perfectly both ways!
