I've had this corduroy blazer for at least 5 years and used to wear it all the time, but this is the first time I've worn it probably since last winter. I added it to my item list to make myself wear it more often. I've gotten in a pretty big rut of wearing cardigans all the time lately (which occurred to me after reading A-Dubs' post last night), and could definitely wear a blazer instead sometimes. Although I did complain a little about the challenge in Monday's post, I do like that it's making me wear stuff that I might not have thought to wear otherwise. I like a structured jacket from time to time (and have been inspired by Cynthia's jackets as of late), and based on today's outfit, I'm really glad I included it in the list.
Remixers - do you find yourself dressing any differently now that the challenge is under way?

I like the idea of wearing fishnets under pants. Fishnets are so cute, but it is hard for me to find work-appropriate ways to wear them.
ReplyDeleteI like wearing blazers, but will often reach for a cardigan to feel 'comfortable'. Not that blazers aren't, but the structured cuts are always less alluring than cozy knits when you'd rather be sleeping than getting dressed.

Cute! I love those tweed pants and I like the look of the grey, black, and softer blue. I also like cardigans more than blazers, but blazers are so smart looking. You look professional in this one (but the corduroy gives it a laid back, non-stuffy, feel).
ReplyDeleteThis is a fab outfit!
ReplyDeleteI'm not doing 30 x 30, but my jacket challenge is changing how I dress for sure. Wearing all the jackets after months and months of no layer or just cardigans is really making me remember how much of a jacket person I am. Darned global warming. I have a purple velveteen jacket and it's STILL not cold enough for it here, though it is November. Maybe I'll capsule it for my trip to Wisconsin.
I love it! I especially love the peek of fishnet tights :)

Gah! I can never make tweed trousers work, but now I'm inspired to try, again. Except I don't have any, and you're making me need to buy them. In short, you look sweet and super-profesh. I like the addition of the brooch, too. November calls for more sparkly things.
ReplyDeletep.s. I miss Jude today.
Sometimes it's fun to put something away for a long time and rediscover it!
