$2 Escada jean jacket takes me a long way
Well, dear readers, I haven't posted in the last few days as I got my wish and jetted out to West Palm Beach for the long weeked, yay!! And my $2 Escada jean jacket, as you can see here, came along with me for the ride!
I'm wearing it here with a thrifted vintage necklace, and that Italian-made cotton dress with embroidered skirt I found for a twoonie at the same sale (the monthly $2 Clothing Sale in Toronto). I knew the dress and jacket would look fab together. In fact, when we were shopping in Anthropologie in West Palm (just browsing, of course!), one of the sales people was all over me about how great the dress was!!
But back to the jacket. It was perfect for the warm yet breezy Florida evenings and went with everything from dresses to skinny jeans, as you see here. Quite the preppy couple I'd say!
Even a mini vacay wouldn't be true to the 'ole blogging spirit without a camera shot in the mirror pose!
This was such a fun outfit: a cheapie stretch tank; a 1970s belt; a $1 vintage necklace; and a skirt/dress I picked up in West Palm last year. With the jacket it's a fun-funky outfit (I call it my Cyndi Lauper look).
I'm just so pleased that a $2 designer jacket took me from pretty to prep to pop. The distressed detailing and buttons makes it a feminine yet funky staple. And it's given me great wardrobing practise for when the warm weather arrives here!
