I think it is the combination of colors and textures that makes me love this outfit.
The jacket is one of the cheapest items in my closet. I found it years ago in Kohls clearance bin, it was $5. And I think I have only been to Kohls about 3 times total. Maybe I should go more often?
Anyway, it is made of slightly stretchy cord which makes it comfortable, while being formfitting. I also love it with my full, camel colored velvet skirt.
The leather skirt is from Talbots, couple of years ago. Again, I probably bought 5 things total from them but they are all favorites (and maybe that's why). As soon as this skirt showed up on their website and fell in love with it. I never wanted a leather skirt but I loved the color. It wasn't cheap but I bought it with the first 30% off coupon I could get and I never regretted. Just the color of it makes me salivate.
The jacket has the Liberty-like print and I love the blue flowers on brown background. It looks great paired with seafoam and I am actually wearing a tank in this color underneath so I could open the jacket if I wanted. It looks good open as well.

That's all folks!
What is the favorite thing you own that was also very inexpensive?
Do you Target or Kohls?
Do you wear leather skirts?
Please share, it would be no fun without you!!!
Cute outfit! I love Target, but never go to Kohls. The Kohls in my area is inconveniently located, so meh. My favorite inexpensive item is my J.Crew cashmere snood from last year which I got at a warehouse sale for $5! It is so freakin' luxurious. Kind of like your leather skirt :)
ReplyDelete$5 is a great price for the snood, what a score!
DeleteI have the same skirt and also love it! I just wished I'd gotten the black one before they all sold out!!
ReplyDeleteCute jacket :-)
Thanks Sinead! I think this was the best year for Talbots from my perspective. They had super cute shoes and purses too, I wish I had gotten some. But I think it did not work out for them because they got back to more conservative stuff.
DeleteI remember that skirt, I regret not getting it, I looove caramel abd it looks like the leather is buttery soft.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is buttery soft, totally drool worthy.
Deleteohhh that is a pretty combination. hmmmm, i have so many $1 items in my closet it's embarrassing.:) this past weekend i picked up a pair of ralph lauren 2-tone oxfords from the 70's or 80's maybe? excellent condition $2. they are my favorite shoes at the moment.:)
ReplyDeleteYou have wonderful eye for thrift store treasures, I could hardly believe some of your incredible finds!
DeleteGreat outfit! I go both Target and Kohls. I go to Target much more often just because I find it easier to shop there. I I think the Vera Wang brand tights are Kohls are quite nice and hold up well. Things at Kohls are always overpriced so I never buy anything not on sale there but I feel things are well priced at Target and often buy things at full price.
ReplyDeleteI have to check out the tights, I need some new pairs, thanks for the tip!
DeleteI love leather and tweed together. I have a taupe/caramel leather skirt that I bought at Loehmanns with !Valentino! yes, Valentino, label still inside, and I love it. So many things go with it. I love your outfit.
ReplyDeleteValentino! Just the name makes me lust after it, and I am not thinking about the label but it just sounds so sexy to wear Valentino. It must be a treasure :)
Deletei got hungry at chocolate and caramel!! this is super cute! we don't have target and kohls in canada but target will be here in 2013! :)
ReplyDeleteOh Phiphi, I did not have breakfast today and now I am dying to raid the office candy cabinet ;)
DeleteI'm loving plain old brown just now, can't get enough t it.
ReplyDeleteI really like cheap flat shoes in spring summer around £10 ish, I find them so so comfy.
I remember those flats, they looked great! Brown, toffee and caramel are irresistible on you.
