I'm recycling a piece I showed you years ago, but it's still a fave, and hey, if the Grunge Queen can't recycle a look, who can? The steal: Tara Jarmon patterned corduroy jacket unearthed at a Parkdale-area Salvation Army in Toronto for $6.99. Tara Jarmon is a Canadian-born designer who is based in Paris. A quick peep on her website shows that summer blazers are going for 230 pounds/almost $400, though a winter weight such as this would cost more.
I'm wearing it with a super, super thick cashmere sweater in the most gorg indigo blue, which I bought at a consignment store before I left Canada for a mere ten dollars - it's perfect for these chilly English spring days! The locket is vintage 1970s Avon, picked up at a vintage shop in Toronto. The gloves, blue leather, found at a charity shop in St Annes. Same bag, jeans and booties as yesterday's post, both second-hand and preloved. My hubby bought me the shades, new.
Speaking of, on the fashion advice of my lovely husband, I decided to wear the skinny jeans unrolled and over my fave thrifted booties - a better look that makes my legs look longer than when I roll the cuffs, he assures me. I love the richness of this outfit - the deep inky blues, the velvety pattern on the jacket. Very Baroque-boho.
