New Jacket, White Jeans and Orange/Copper

Welcome back to a week that is looking rather hectic! I did some pre-planning on Sunday, knowing I would need to have outfits ready for it. 

I started with this new-to-me jacket which is NOT FOR ME. Oh dear. 

I really did not like it at all - it's just the wrong shape for me. I should know this! This era's (2008-9) jackets never quite suited me. 

• Jacket - Nygard, consignment; purchased here for $43.00
• Sweater - Bartolini, consignment; last seen here in March for a Mom-Day in mixed plaids
• Jeans - Everlane, thrifted; last worn here in October with Welsh wool for Mom-Day
• Shoes - Groovy Aubrey, Fluevog; last seen here (2nd outfit) earlier this month for brunch

Don't suggest I unbelt it - it's even worse. I was seduced by the textile! I also had a tough time styling it - when I end up with my white jeans, that means nothing else really worked. 

Let's just all be happy that the jacket is going to Limbo and let it go. It's an excellent piece, so I'll move it along to someone who looks amazing in it. 

Incognito. See? The outfit looks so much better when you can't see the jacket. 

Barnabas concurs! Thanks, little B. 

Ah, well, I did try. 

Everything else was good - the jeans are thick and flappy, and I loved my bits of orange and copper. 

The stuff: 

That scarf is so mid-century - it goes well with the copper. 

• Scarf - vintage, thrifted
• Gloves - Parkhurst
• Eelskin belt - Yves St. Laurent, vintage 80s, thrifted
• Enamel/copper brooch - Matisse by Renoir, vintage 60s, vintage fair

Copper bling: 

I'm always happy in copper. 

• Vintage 8s bracelet - Renoir, vintage 50s, consignment, Seattle
• Thin copper bracelet - Renoir, vintage 50s, thrifted
• Hinged copper bracelet - vintage 60s, thrifted, Sidney
• Copper ball ring - vintage, consignment
• Brass/jade ring - 1970s, Mom's
• Stone ring - thrifted
• Copper necklace/earrings - vintage 50s, Grandma J's

Oops, missed this one! 

It resembles a bird's head this way, but I think it's supposed to look like a leaf. 

• Copper brooch - vintage, thrifted

No kitty pictures today, sorry!
