Cropped Bomblazer and Wacky Pants

First, I must apologize - I neglected to include the pictures of this cropped, half-blazer, half-bomber jacket when I bought it at Turnabout just over a week ago! The front of it is like a blazer, and you know I love those ragged edges...and the back of it is a nylon bomber jacket, with knit hem. 
I also was 100% positive it was black...but it's navy blue, sigh. I'm not a massive fan of navy blue. 

  • Cropped jacket - Zara, consignment; purchased NWT here for $28.80
  • Blouse - Rock & Republic, thrifted; last seen here in May under a blue sweater
  • Pants - Gorman, consignment; last worn here in May with this same blouse!
  • Sandals - Sorel; last seen here in August 2024 (that can't be right...)

Castle view, as I haven't shared one for a while. 
The weather's been mostly like this - white from smoke haze. The sun burns through every so often, and sometimes it's more grey. 

Back to the outfit - the blazer/bomber jacket. All very classy in the front, although that's a very high crop. The white line you're seeing is a raw edge (you know I love them, your tastes may differ). 
I think I might like the IDEA of this more than the actuality. I'll have to try it with my fall/winter stuff. 

Let's have a look at the back. All black nylon, with a couple of deep pleats at the back of the neck. 
The backs of the sleeves are also nylon, and the cuffs are half-blazer/half-rib cuffed, but I rolled them twice to show my sleeves (also rolled) and bracelets.

I didn't take the bomblazer (of course that's the name) off, but I could have! 
I love this bright sheer blouse - it goes with a lot in my closet. I have a pale yellow cotton tank under it. 

Incognito. 
I only buttoned the bomblazer while I walked home, but it rode up quite a lot with my knapsack. Noted for next time. 

The stuff: 
I was sure I wore these sandals already once this season, but I can't find them anywhere. Huh. I did like wearing bright neon socks with them. 

  • Belt - Emmanuel, vintage 80s, thrifted

Copper bling: 
I always love getting in a wear of some of my copper. 

  • Squash blossom copper/turquoise cuff - Bell Trading Co., vintage 60s, consignment, Powell River
  • Copper/turquoise brooch - vintage, thrifted
  • Copper bracelet - Renoir, vintage 50s, thrifted
  • Copper/glass and copper ball ring - vintage, consignment
  • Copper/enamel earrings - Matisse by Renoir, vintage 60s, Grandma J's
  • Copper necklace - Renoir, vintage 50s, consignment

  1. Now that's an excellent outfit, Sheila, although I do get you're not completely sold on the bomblazer (great name!) - yet!
    I'm loving the copper bling - you do have the most wonderful collection - and the neon socks worn with the sandals! xxx

    1. Thank you, Ann! I think the bomblazer will work better over a dress maybe, or if I pair it with something deliberated lower (or higher) in the waist. I want to try it with my Red Valentino "Boss" pants.
      I was rather chuffed with the socks and sandals!

    1. I think you know me well enough by now, Leanne, to know that I am DRAWN to the weird! Aw, that is so kind of you - I wasn't entirely happy with the outfit, but I still really like the bomblazer.

  3. Gorgeous colours, I particularly love the socked-up toe peeking out from beneath the trouser hems. Your copper and turquoise collection is wonderful. I agree about the bomblazer's length being slightly off but it doesn't stop it from being a great outfit! x
