I'm wearing jeans! It feels like it's been forever since I've worn them since I've been living in dresses, but Saturday's freezing temperatures required them, plus a pair of tights underneath for layering. I wore this while we were tailgating Saturday for UGA's football game against Idaho State.
The red band jacket has been sitting in my closet for more than a year. I thrifted it with the special intent of wearing it for football season, but never really had the courage to try it out until now. With the 30 for 30 Challenge going on, it seemed a perfect time to try out a bunch of items I had never really styled before. For whatever reason, the jeans and the plaid shirt seemed to really click with it.
The building behind me in the pictures is my old dorm building! I lived on campus all four years, and this was just one of my homes. The building is more than 70 years old and I always loved its architecture.
Happy Tuesday,
oh my gosh!
ReplyDelete1) I love this look.
2) You look great in jeans and should wear them more often.
3) I have a draft post of a marching band jacket and wearing all black entitled I'm with the band
I'll have to remix some more!
That jacket is pretty epic.
ReplyDeleteYou look FABULOUS in those jeans, and I'm positively enamored of the jacket! What a fab thrift find.
ReplyDeleteI like the second picture a lot .Everything (the building,you,the jacket )look great in this picture!I've just posted my second remix and I'm getting more relaxed about the whole thing!
ReplyDeleteRed is a great color for you!
ReplyDeleteI've been wearing mostly dresses for the last several months, so pants feel odd to me now too. But you look great in them. This is such a fun outfit. I, too, included items I wanted to force myself to wear more. I wouldn't have thought of belting the shirt under the jacket, but it's a good look.
ReplyDeleteI never realized how accustomed I was to seeing you in skirts/dresses! But the jens look great and I love the band jacket and plaid, it's definitely working!
ReplyDeleteThat blazer is absolutely killer! I love military right now, but I'm absolutely in love with the color as well! What a great piece!
ReplyDeleteThat jacket is amazing!! You look very good in red.
ReplyDeleteexcellent jacket!
ReplyDeletered is a really good color for you, JoAnn.
ReplyDeleteand I'm wearing a band-type jacket today as well. :)
Can't believe the elephant necklace is from F21! It looks so much more expensive.

ReplyDeleteThe WHOLE look is so cute! I really love the necklace! I love the background with the whole look also. The Jacket is the best!

ReplyDeleteThose trouser jeans are amazing on you! I need to alter mine--they just don't fit me that well. I'm also totally obsessed with your jacket!

You are totally pulling off that jacket! It looks awesome - and PERFECT for tailgating!
ReplyDeleteThe band jacket looks like it would be fun to remix! But challenging, and definitely noticeable. I like how you've belted underneath. You've sure had some unseasonably cold weather there....
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the jacket! I bet it can go with so many different dresses and pants too. What a great piece!
