{outfit} Eggplant

Fact: this blazer was only $3! Lydia found it at her local thrift store and it was in my size so picked it up for me because she knows how obsessed I am with purple!! Gotta love awesome blogger friends! This blazer is replacing my much brighter BCBG blazer that makes me look a BIT too much like Willy Wonka, and I LOVE Willy Wonka... I felt a bit like an eggplant in this outfit with my purple blazer and then my green top, so the title of this post isn't THAT random...

This week all my posts seem to be about new things! Tomorrow you get to see my new most prized possession. His (meaning it's) name is Sirius, which gives you no clues as to what it is. But most of you already know what it is, I just like pretending you don't.

Blazer: Gap $3, Top: Michael Kors $25, Jeans: Free People (Gilt Groupe) gift card, , Boots: Vintage (eBay) $11, Scarf: Target $12, Watch: Michael Kors, Purse: Marc by Marc Jacobs

    Glad the blazer worked out! Perfect to balance out the cost of the other blazer ;)

    Love that you named your bag, too cute. Can't wait to see it!

    haha, you called it sirius? Love it. Also liking the jacket... in fact, I think my sister may have the same one. Plus, eggplant is a great name for a colour.
