Favorite Find: A Pink Plaid Jacket

Favorite Find: A Pink Plaid Jacket

When we were in Austin a few weeks ago for my birthday, I got to stop in at Anthropologie and look around. Like actually shop —  and it was amazing. I forgot how much I love just looking around a store to see what I’m going to find. As easy as online shopping is, the shop girl in me will always love a storefront. But since having G, shopping in-store is such a luxury or rather, a bit of a chore. Not in a bad way, but I am so aware of our limited amount of time… at all times. When you have a newborn, there are naps to be taken and feeding times to tend to.  So it is either a mad dash into a store very quickly in which I better know what I am looking for or I shop online, at weird hours of the night on my computer or phone. There is no in between.

So with the baby in tow, napping in the stroller, B stayed with her and I got to walk around slowly and touch everything in the whole store like any good, annoying customer should. I tried on about a million things like any good, annoying customer should. I could get lost (and lose a lot of money) in that wonderland of a store, but I was good and I bought two things; one of them was this jacket. A Gemma pink plaid jacket? It was meant to be. I had just picked up online this velour top for the holidays and was so hoping they would work together when I got them all together at home. Turns out, it’s a perfect match!

The jacket runs a bit oversized. I’m in the medium because I liked the extra puff on the sleeves and the slouchy look, but if you prefer a more fitted look, size down! You can find the jacket here.

Oh! And these are the heels I’ve been meaning to wear on here. I wore them on IG a few posts ago and people loved them and had so many questions about them! They are Vince Camuto from Nordstrom and get this — surprisingly comfortable! I don’t know if it’s the cut of the heel or what, but they didn’t rub at all. I would size down a half size in these because the heel is a bit slippy. But other than that, shoe perfection right here.

How to Wear an Oversize Denim Jacket

You've probably had a denim jacket in your closet for, well, forever but this season they're a little different than the ones you might have worn in the past. You know and love the slightly slouchy fit and perfectly worn-in feel of boyfriend jeans—well, now it’s time to meet the boyfriend jean jacket. The oversize lightweight layer offers a fresh spin on an old summer classic, and it can be paired with almost anything, making it a must-have piece.

If you're curious about the best way to style an oversize denim jacket, we've picked up on a few simple rules for wearing the summer staple. First, don't be afraid to wear it with jeans. In fact, many of our favorite outfits include a denim-on-denim look. Next, try rolling up the sleeves. This works especially well if you have sleeves with a cool pattern underneath. And finally, experiment with it. Try wearing it off your shoulders or in place of a top. The sky's the limit.

​Go on to shop the trend with our favorite oversize denim jackets from Madewell, Frame, Topshop, and more.

How to Wear a Denim Jacket

The beauty of a denim jacket or shirt is that it will retain its integrity for years to come. You are more likely to get bored of wearing it before it needs throwing away – although given its timeless look, we’re sure the former won’t happen. Although it seems as American as apple pie, denim actually has its origins in Renaissance Europe, although where specifically is unclear. Nimes seems a good bet as it explains the term ‘denim’ – derived from ‘de Nimes’ or ‘from Nimes.’

The denim jacket started as a way of re-purposing old scraps from jean manufacturing, and from these casual beginnings, we have a very casual item. However, the denim jacket is a staple piece that has more to offer than casual wear. Have a go at wearing your denim jacket under a black overcoat for a smarter twist for example. Let’s start off with a quick and easy tutorial on some introductory styling options.

Style

It’s true that the denim jacket does fall in and out of favour. What was in during the 90s felt a bit unloved at the start of the millennium. Nonetheless, the casual number has certainly made quite a comeback – pretty much screaming East London cool casual. Wearing a nice cable knit jumper underneath your jacket and pair of tan ankle boots will give a touch of urban to a Western classic.

Jako, że lato nas w tym roku nie rozpieszcza, postanowiłam stworzyć look z kolorem, który nas trochę rozgrzeje. To, że czerwony jest kolorem gorącym i pełnym erotyzmu wie chyba każdy, nie każdy wie jednak, że odcieni czerwieni jest bardzo wiele i nie każdy pasuje do naszego typu urody. Ja postawiłam na zdecydowaną czerwień, lekko wpadającą w odcienie burgundu, która nie jest aż tak bezwzględna jak np.: czerwień w odcieniu pomidora której moja delikatna uroda mogłaby nie wytrzymać. Do tego, na przełamanie, potarte dżinsy i rockowa torebka. Co Wy na to, fashioniści mali i duzi!:)

Jako, że wiosna w tym roku tylko miesza nam w głowach tym zdradliwym Słońcem, a w między czasie wieje nam po pupach chłodem, to post też taki trochę nietypowy, zawieszony pomiędzy wiosną a zimą. Wzięłam pod lupę kolejny trend sezonu (też zresztą kolejnego z rzędu:)) czyli frędzle - tym razem w wersji, ja żartobliwe ją nazwałam - nowoczesną Pocahontas w zestawieniu z moich ukochanym klasycznym płaszczem w kolorze camel. Bardzo jestem ciekawa, jak Wam się podoba, a może macie mnie za głupią dzikuskę?:P

New look is up, yet another one from my skiing trip to Austrian & Swiss Alps with one of the trends of the season - fringes. I've mixed this Pocahontas styled dress with my very favorite, classy camel coat. How do you like this style, fashion lovers?
