Do I look like a clown?



I can hear you laughing out loud. No wonder as this blazer is VERY loud but I can't get enough of it. It's silk and so intricately well made. Yes I'll probably look like a crazy clown when wearing it but that's a risk I'm prepared to take. This legend of a jacket is silk, impeccably finished and lined, and is like nothing I have ever seen.


The pink in the pattern is obviously calling out to my pink lipstick lol.



And guess what? It's a men's jacket. I think its original owner must have been quite diminutive in stature as it fits me in a wonderful 'boyfriend cut' way on the arms and waist. The shoulders are just a touch too wide though. Just a touch. I have been debating whether to get them tailored. I was talking about it with my Nana, who was a fabulous seamstress in her day, and she thinks it's fine as it is. I think I'll get a few more opinions before I decide as it won't be cheap to get it tailored. But you know what, I REALLY love this statement blazer so I think it's worth the investment.
