French moi

I'm going on a cruise to the French Riviera!

Ha ha. I wish.

So I'll have to make do with this AMAZING French blazer I thrifted on the way to work a week ago.

The label:Didier Parakian.

The cost: $6.99 LESS 50 percent!

The style: Most awesome blazer I've ever ever seen.



It's black velvet with multi-coloured splashes, blue buttons and a funky peplum, and an asymmetrical collar at the back.

I could definitely dress it up more but I was so excited to wear it I paired it with jeans, high-heeled booties and a funky thrifted necklace.

I've never heard of this label before but a quick peep at the website
reveals lovely designs - look like the designer is based in Marseille in the south of France.




Here's a view of the back.




















And the collar at the back.




















And the buttons.

Sigh. Can you fall in love with a blazer?

  3. Thanks Vintage Girl, I liked it with the jeans too; may look too prim dressed up eh?

    Alice you are sweet. It does fit like a glove; maybe a touch too short in the sleeve but think I can pull it off (down? haha).
