  1. What a great thrift find! I swear they were selling an identical blazer at Urban Outfitters for $70 the last time I was there. I always seem to have terrible luck thrifting blazers, they're always enormous or so tiny that my arms stick out straight at the sides.

  2. Sweet find! I love it when I can fit into an unexpected item like that. Love the gold scarf with the violet jeans:)

  3. I love that you're breathing new life into that blazer, and frankly, a little jealous that you can fit into a size 10 boys blazer! Cute post.

  6. Oh purple jeans. l love that. Bold. And with the yellow. Fantastic. It is so interesting to think of the adventures our clothes went on in their previous lives before making it to the thrift store.

  7. Yay! We're jeans twins! I love the mustard scarf with it. I of course wear my mustard cardigans with these jeans all the time. It's kind of insane how awesome the color combo is...
