There's Nothing Like...

rediscovering a forgotten piece of clothing. I've had this casual-looking blazer for so long. After I bought it from Tristan a few years ago, I quickly proceeded to go home, stick it in the closet and forget all about it.
So several years and a move later there it still was, languishing with many other forgotten and neglected pieces. Until this morning when, by lack of inspiration, I got desperate and delved into the shadowy depths of "My 2nd Closet" (too much?)

The picture is not great, and consequently the blazer doesn't look like much. It could use a good ironing, but other than that, it's perfect! I love it!! It's not too formal, but can still dress up jeans and a t-shirt; it's light and comfortable; works in summer or winter and everything in between (although I'm starting to believe that these other seasons, "fall" and "spring", people keep referring to are just myths. In Quebec it's either wintry or sweltering).

Today I tried it out with my AE "boyfriend" jeans and my Blondie t-shirt. I rather liked the result.

Topped off with my favourite boots and some of my mom's old accessories. Et voila, le tour est joué! Nothing revolutionary, but classic and comfy.
I guess it goes to show, you should never get rid of clothes you don't wear. Well, that's not really feasible, we don't all have the room for an ever-expanding wardrobe. But you should be really, really careful about what you get rid of. You never know when they'll make a comeback.
