Really Obsessed With: Marching Band Jackets

march


This girl from facehunter (I think?) has been haunting my Inspiration board for a few weeks now. This chick DEFINES what it means to be effortlessly chic. It's like she rolled out of bed in her black tank, grabbed the nearest jacket and a pair of jeans and slipped her feet into the first pair of heels she could find. This look is neither dated nor trendy, quirky enough for my tastes, and look! She's having fun! There's no trace of that "OOH fashion is SO serious" thing that makes most facehunter regulars resort to that stone-faced "I'm pretending to be noncahalant" pose. I've been on the lookout for a similar jacket, but my stipulations (primary colors, fitted, with tails) have made it pretty tricky. The jacket on the right is up on ebay right now and bidding ends soon so make your move if you're feeling it.

seriously cute. i almost grabbed one of these at a thrift store a few years ago, and second-guessed myself and put it back on the rack. i've been regretting it ever since!

i actually thought the opposite, having seen other photos of her various outfits. this seemed to me to be a very deliberate choice, and not at all in keeping with her other ensembles, which lacked all sense of uniqueness and character.

Mmmmm wendyb yum, but I can't dupe myself into getting another denim jacket (2 is plenty?). I'm looking for something a bit more literal.
