Prep and proper

Yes, another jacket I hear you say but I couldn't resist this one. It's actually a man's jacket but kind of looks nice and boxy in a preppy way on a woman, especially with the sleeves scrunched up to the elbows. It's lightweight with quite a bright check pattern which works so well for spring, if it ever arrives.

When out diving for vintage treasure, I never discount the men's rails. Actually, when vintage shopping I never discount anything. A stall or vintage shop that at first looks uninspiring can often yield something rather special. I'm really looking forward to highlighting the burgundy red in this pattern with some complementary shoes or maybe a scarf. Actually that might be what I look for next time I'm out on the prowl, a nice burgundy accented scarf...wish me luck!
