Trend Alert; Tweed

Last year i bought the most beautiful tweed blazer, i'd been looking for one for quite some time so when i just happened to walk in to a charity/vintage shop in the local town of Shrewsbury i grabbed it right then and there! This was before they where back into fashion so i snagged it for a bargin price of £5!!

 But there was a downside; I'm a size ten but the blazer was a 16! So with a bit of the old sewing kit out i think i managed to do an okay job of taking it in, fits like a glove!

I was in college today so i thought this outfit suited, I teamed the Tweed up with my leather River Island shorts (they have a post to themselve's further down), a over sized cream blouse and finally Brogues with a tartan inlay.

Find It:

Tweed Blazer - Random Charity Shop

Shorts - River Island

Brogues - primark

Blouse - Peacocks

Also accesorised with my Alexander McQueen style inspired scarf, because lets face it its still only february so by adding the scarf and thick wollen tights its makes sure you wont be looking like you don't own a calender!

Make Up:
As I was only in college today i didnt want to wear heavy make-up and weigh the outfit down, so instead I decided for a slick black eyeliner flicked at the end (usually the everyday look), with white and cream eye shadow tinting my eyes. I went for red lips, daring for me to say the least as i usually like to stickto my peaches and pale pinks. But i wanted to add a more sophisticated feel. I also tried to make my nail polish also matches the lips so went for a bright red!

Accessories:
Ring & Earings - Primark
Headband - New look
Scarf - Internet
'Daniel' Bracelet - Shop abroad

So its an obvious one, blazers are in this season, and all the fashion icons are wearing them, as seen below. I've been looking for a tweed blazer for pretty much months and so when my friend advised me to go charity shop hunting its safe to say it was my only hope. So after looking round countless shops in my area i found none, i did by a cute little jumper but that's another blog. So today just by chance i nipped into a British Heart Foundation charity shop and what did i see? The most beautiful tweed jacket! Of course i snatched it up straight away for a tiny £5!

The moral here is never class out old shops, or charity shop more often that not they hold the best bargins!
So who do you think wears it best? I must admit I love SJP in this, agree? Comment xoxox
