Friday I was all over the Cleveland area. First I went to see the reggae band Carlos Jones with my friend (she is also my brother's girlfriend) down at Cropicana on Whiskey Island. It started pouring during the band's set so they had to cut the concert short. Then we headed to Melt in Lakewood, and I can't believe it took me so long to go there. I had a monte cristo, and it was pure heaven. Afterwards we met my boyfriend, my brother, and some other friends for drinks at The Tap House. It was really fun but I was so tired by the time I got home I could barely keep my eyes open.
I start my summer class on Wednesday. It feels so weird to be going back to school, and it finally feels real to me. On Wednesday night I leave for Pittsburgh because my boyfriend's sister is getting married this weekend. It is going to be one crazy busy week.
Do you ever have pieces that are worth their weight in gold? This blazer is one those pieces for me. I've owned it for at least six years now. If I would have known how much use I was going to get out of it I would have bought every one left in my size. It fits in all the right places, and I can count on it every. single. time.
With all my heart,
<3 Vanessa

A black blazer with the perfit fit is definitely a wardrobe staple. I have two black blazers, but neither one fits as I'd really like. Yours is amazing!
ReplyDeleteAs for a piece that's worth its weight in gold, I have to go with my black patent bag. I've worn it so much and it's showing no signs of wear. I will wear it for years to come!
Okay, I really like this outfit on you. That last photo is like your non-cheesy glamour shot.
ReplyDeleteMy plaid Keds have been with me for eight years now (and there are holes threatening to form around the toes), and I don't know what I'm going to do when they fall apart completely... Cry, probably.
The absolute greatest and best of luck to you with school! YOU WILL BLOW EVERYONE OUT OF THE WATER!

You've been busy. I'm a big fan of monte cristos! You're right--we all have items like this jacket that seem to fit perfectly and feel right with lots of looks. You'll do fine with the school thing.
ReplyDeleteThat last photo is a total model shot. You are lovely!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a really fun evening! This outfit is so cute - especially that blazer! It's great to invest in pieces that you can wear with a variety of different outfits.
ReplyDeleteI love pieces like that it makes you feel good that you got your money's worth :)
ReplyDeleteYou look great today. I don't know what it is specifically about this outfit, but it just fits you really well.

That blazer is just stunning on you - I love the flap pockets and cut. Absolutely stunning.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with school tomorrow - you will be great! :)
You look so relaxed and confident in these pictures, Vanessa. Isn't it great to have a well-loved garment to turn to? x
ReplyDeleteSounds like such a fun outing, and good luck with your class! You'll do great, I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteI can see why you love that blazer. It looks fantastic on you, it was made for you! Perfection. I LOVE your jeans. LOVE.
ReplyDeleteFor a minute there I thought you were going to be decked out in gold accessories due to the title :) I love this blazer- it's an essential in any woman's wardrobe and fits you like a glove! How exciting that you're back to school tomorrow- good luck! I'm back in September- eek!
ReplyDeleteOh I hope you enjoy your summer classes - I took summer classes last year and it wasn't that bad and hopefully it'll go by fast! And I'm glad you have a nice fitting blazer! I have yet to find one that truly fits me in every area.
