Jacket mania

Quess what with am I wearing the lovely obi belt  I made out of ties not so long ago (you can find tutorial here  , super easy)!  Yeap! It's a jacket!!!
I only own 3 jackets. You'll see two of them featured here!  It took me so long to incorporate a jacket into my wardrobe cause I never thought of  it as versatile. How little did I know!!!  Jackets are my style epiphany.  Period.


And this is my second take on the jacket.  Mind you the first one is part of a suit whose trousers are long ago torn and forgotten and the second one was a bargain buy I bought last year to experiment with the whole jacket thing!
A propos, when you want to experiment with a style or a certain clothing item do you buy cheap or spend to make sure it's of good  quality  but run the risk to wear only a few times?

  3. Ooh, you made that obi? Well done! So cute!
    Thanks for showing us your blazer looks! I like them both, but I really like the outfit in the second picture. I can't put my finger on why, but it just all works together!

  9. Angie,

    I love the obi belt you made out of ties. It would look great on a sheath dress in the summer. It has so many wonderful colors.

    Love the blue shirt and rust jacket w/ wide belt. The look is fabulous on you!
