i'm back today featuring a true neglected item for "no longer neglected" - this striped blazer. here's a run down:
last worn: sept 28, 2012
date purchased: i cannot find this item on my clothing purchases spreadsheet i keep so i guess i missed it! i thrifted it sometime late summer/early fall 2012.
reason for purchase: i had seen a couple cute outfits others had worn with a navy & white striped blazer. when i saw it at the goodwill, it just seemed like something worth buying for that reason. the price must have been right.
why neglected: i know bloggers are required to love stripes, but i just don't think i do. maybe one of these days i'll find the perfect striped tee, but i'm never drawn to wearing this striped blazer. there isn't a proper button, either, just a little hook & eye closure, so it doesn't lay open nicely and always has to be closed.
verdict: i'll keep it around! do you agree? i would like to pair it with one of my orange dresses next. one of my coworkers also gave me a great compliment today stating that i always dress so "fun." i don't think i can get rid of this blazer after a sweet comment like that. it might sound corny, but i think it is awesome if someone looks at me and smiles because they think i dress fun!
speaking of fun, here is what i looked like today after i tried on a gap kids boy's shirt (you know i love 'em) in the dressing room at goodwill and it fit. it only takes $1.49 to make me this happy - i mean, look at how sweet this plaid is!
it's good not to take ourselves too seriously, right? thanks for visiting!
