Colour: Put Your Records On

What do you get when you have an off-day filled with running errands, listening to records with friends, and a mid-day sewing session? You guessed it, this outfit!

On a mission to partake in all the above from my unconventional to-do list, I was determined to be cool, calm, and casual. In addition, to enjoy a very rare 24-hour day of No’s: no waking up early, no meetings, and no inbox messaging related to work.

For some reason on this day I translated that into grabbing an old T-shirt that I literally have not worn in 8 or so years, then paired it with my embroidered jacket. I’m uncertain as to why I adore this embroidered jacket so much. It’s dated, and like many jackets for me, a tad short at the hem of the sleeves, however hardly noticeable.

When I saw it in the shop I remember the look on these girls faces, as it was randomly in the “juniors” section. My eyes lit up as I tried to formulate words (with my animated eyes) expressing gasps of “ahhhh,” accompanied by an abrupt, yet lingering “yesss!” My dear friend shopping with me was just as excited as I was. Afterward, we both looked up noticing the girls stare at us once more and laugh. We shrugged our shoulders simultaneously and went on.

It’s those moments that I don’t take personal, because when I’m vintage shopping or find great thrifted pieces, occasionally I feel as if I’ve struck gold … okay maybe silver this time, but sometimes even platinum as well! I know that some people may not understand, but obviously they’ve never found a fashion gem they wanted in the midst of the haus of “pre-loved” threads. The jacket: clearly a winner with the eyelet hole sleeves resembling the closures of stays in corset fashion, and the minimal faux fur trim embracing the neckline.

Sure, it wasn’t quite as heavenly as many of my other treasured finds, but definitely a favourite and rightfully due for a style appreciative spotlight. So I wore this outfit, all very casual with bold spikes of colour and soothed by the dose of various shades of brown. It seemed perfect for a pleasant day of fun, relaxation, and reminiscing.

    Great colors! I actually love the jacket! And I feel that way all the time when I find things I instantly love–be it at the thrift shop, in the juniors section or even in the men's section!

    You are really hot in your t-shirt. I never use T-shirts because I have the "wrong body". A t-shirt requires tits and I unfortunately I don't have any … :-(.

    I think that jacket is such a beautiful piece my dear and really quite unique, I especially like its furry detailing. The colour blocking you've created is so striking and refreshing to see on a grey like today, so thank you for the uplifting visual. Well have a great weekend my dear and take care,
