great plaid and all that (raggy) jazz

I love this outfit. There, I said it. I feel like I'm cheating on Winter with Autumn a little bit, but Winter never was very nice to me, anyway.

(hat/skirt: vintage; blazer: delia*s via plato's closet; belt/cardigan that you can't see: thrifted; tights: hue; shoes: seychelles)

I'm totally ready for summer, by the way. I've been dreaming of sandy beaches and strawberry dacquiris and Mr. Sun's warm embrace... in the meantime, K and I will be retreating to my parents' house in the woods for the weekend (while they are out of town) for some good old-fashioned dog-walking and movie-watching by the woodstove. Speaking of movies, I watched Al Jolson shake his hips to that "raggy jazz" in The (aptly named) Jazz Singer before we went bowling last night--and it was awesome.

Bon week-end, friends!
(Okay, so I accidentally typed "frights" instead of "friends"... it's either Friday or I need some psychoanalysis)

    Autumn beats winter any day. Loving the elbow patches and how the tweeds compliment one another.

    That blazer is perfect.
    Almost as perfect as going to a snowy cabin in the woods.

    That jacket is, without doubt, pretty cool. I wish I could belt my jackets, but at the moment I'm still recovering some post-Christmas waist definition...
    Dog walking and the rest sounds lovely. I would love to go spend a weekend with my parents too. : )

    Gasp! That blazer seriously makes me wish I didn't abandon my perusals through Delia*s. I've been looking for a blazer with elbow patches for what seems like forever. Had I only known...
    It's great you were able to snag it from Plato's Closet :)
