Today's the second time I've worn this pink velvet jacket.
I'm wearing the jacket with my ultra-fem floral blouse that appeared in the August 2012 capsule (recap here), along with the purple-y-grey Chie Mihara flats. The blouse was the most-worn top of August, and I wore the shoes 6 times. They were just as comfy today.
I last wore this jacket here.
Nougat London pink velvet blazer: Outfit #1
The stuff:
A close-up:
I always forget to include my Wendy Brandes* lapis lazuli ring. I'm up to at least 100 wears on it since I bought it a year ago, bringing the cost per wear down to the $3.00 range - I believe in wearing your good stuff! It's worth it!
*linking 'cause I love Wendy and her jewelry
Jacket (Nougat London, consignment), blouse (Esprit, consignment), skirt (Tobias, thrifted), shoes (Chie Mihara), brooch (Pastelli, vintage 60s, Grandma J), ring (Nine West), ring (Wendy Brandes), earrings (thrifted, vintage).
I like the detail on those flats...plus they must be great for walking about town. Your grandmother's brooch is quite lovely, I am mad about vintage pins!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and frilly, but my favorite things are the shoes and the ring - lapis lazuli - nice!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny, every time I vote for something, most people are telling you to keep it. It's almost like people want you to have more and more clothes so we can live vicariously through you and your wardrobe. ;o)
I love the jacket, I call it a keeper. I too am an ex-pink hater, but I do adore that dusty pink. I've acquired some pieces in that shade myself.
ReplyDeleteOoh! Pink and navy! Love!
ReplyDeleteI think the pink is sumptuous on you! I am a fan of seams or patterns on the back of nylons, and these are unique and interesting. As are the grey flats!
ReplyDeleteLove the pink velvet. I'm having a moment with velvet anything.
ReplyDeleteYou look so business-like in this outfit. Business-like with a side of fun.
Another lovely version of the jacket, soft and pretty with those cute flats and the great jewellery. I am not great with pink either, pastel shades are no good on me but I am trying not to ignore brighter shades. xxxx
ReplyDeleteI really like the printed top with the jacket! I think it's a definite keeper, it's such a nice shade :)
ReplyDeleteLove the dusty pink jacket. And the flats - I want to wear those today!
ReplyDeleteThe jacket is beautiful - why don't you wear it more ? Well, maybe i should answer that same question in regards to my red, purple and turquoise velvet jackets... i never wear them.
ReplyDeleteI haven't worn it more because I didn't own it! It's a new-to-me item, just purchased a few weeks ago.
DeleteIt's such a pretty shade of pink - I love it with the pretty tied blouse underneath! I used to loathe pink too, but I've been letting it back into my life!
ReplyDeleteI love the blazer. I am a sucker for blazers though : )

I voted to keep the jacket. You can never have enough dusty pink in your wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteFirst--the shoes are amazing!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a pink gal either but that shade is wonderful on you!! Plus the jacket itself is really really cool!
Such a pretty shade of pink on you, keep keep keep!
