One Jacket, 2 Ways

I found this great Zara blazer at Fillmore & 5th last weekend for only $45. I was able to make it work with 2 great outfits...one a fun going out getup and another suitable for work (well when you work in a buying office).

Fall Varsity Jackets


Nothing brings back memories of high school like a good varsity jacket. And now they are not just for the boys...especially when designers like Ralph Lauren and Moschino get their hands on them. 





Clockwise from left: Ralph Lauren $595, MCQ McQueen $765, Saint Laurent $2500, Nasty Gal $258, Moschino $2895, American Eagle $79.95

Weekend Found Fashion

Had such great luck this weekend shopping at my favorite consignment store and also at some new ones. The first outfit came from my favorite used clothing store Crossroads Trading Company. Found this cute cropped BCBG Generation sweater and immediately fell in love. Since I am not entirely comfortable with baring my midriff I set off to find a high-waisted pencil skirt. I hit consignment store gold when I found this Chanel black wool high-waisted pencil skirt! It was the perfect skirt to complete my outfit. If you know anything about fashion and have watched any runway shows for Fall 2014 you know pencil skirts and cropped sweaters are the "It thing" of the season. And I found both for only $56!

The second outfit was found at Crossroads Trading Company,  ReLove on Polk Street and Fillmore and 5th on Union Street. ReLove is a true vintage store and you can find some truly original pieces for bargain prices. Fillmore and 5th is more upscale consignment by Crossroads Trading Company and admittedly I had never been in because I assumed it would be too expensive for me. So not true. I found this great Zara puffed shoulder jacket there for only $38. Another great Zara find is the T-shirt from ReLove which I bought partially because the girl on the shirt reminded me of me:)
