Two outfit posts in a row! I'm on a roll...and guess what, you may even get one tomorrow too! I have had this Marc by Marc Jacobs jacket since Christmas Eve of 2006. I had been obsessed with it ever since I saw it on Emma Watson in 2005 [here] and I searched for it every day and finally found it on eBay and it arrived just in time to wear it for Christmas [pic from btb...before the blog.] This was a major splurge, I think I paid $80 for it...sheesh! That was a LOT for me back then (now too usually...) Sadly my chest has grown a bit in the 5 years since I've had it so I have been searching for it in a bigger size because I love it so much. But for now I just don't button it.
You guys are probably getting sick of seeing my purse every day, but get used to it ;) I need to use it every day for at least a year to make up for the cost (cost/wear ratio ;) ) I do sometimes break out my mini MJ purse, but only on the weekends if I go somewhere, its too small to use for work. As you may have guessed I'm more of a shoe girl than a bag girl, I can live with 2/3 bags, but need TONS of shoes. Are you a shoe girl or a bag lady?
Jacket: Marc by Marc Jacobs (eBay), Jeans: Free People (Marshalls) $30, Wedges: Crown Vintage (DSW) $35, Watch: Michael Kors, Purse: Marc by Marc Jacobs, Sunglasses: Marc by Marc Jacobs via Shopbop gift card

Love the jacket!!
ReplyDeleteI love both bags and shoes, but I am DEFINITELY a shoe fiend!! I have several purses, but I usually get in a purse rut and wear the same two (black or brown depending on outfit) for months. But shoes, I try and change it up as often as possible. And I love to be crazy with my shoes, whereas I like my purses to be classic.
again, you look amazing in those jeans, and I love the blazer, I totally get the obsession/stalking/overpaying - sometimes you just need something.
ReplyDeleteAnd switching up bags all the time can be such a pain, I totally feel like I've outfitposted out a few of mine, so sometimes i'll just take the photos sans bag.
black velvet is dreamy + I'm loving that lavender bag of yours.
ReplyDeleteLove your blazer to pieces! So into polka dots at the moment!
