fashion friday

For Fashion Friday, I'm going to tell you a little story about a birthday gift I got.

From Jimmy.

Kind of.

So, last week I went to a women's gala/fundraiser, and this is how I showed up:

Tunic: Vintage Saks {thrifted}

Might I tell you, I think I was the only one at this gala wearing something thrifted?

And some woman actually told me she could tell I had expensive taste. Ha!

Jacket: {thrifted a million years ago}

Necklace: supa old

Bracelets: {Walmart & Twisted Silver}

Tights: Kirkland? {Costco, and still the best tights ever!}

Shoes: My baby Lou Lou's {Neiman Marcus}

These may be why she thought I had expensive taste. Little did she know I had to birth two babies to get them (for Mothers Day), and even then we didn't eat for a month or so to make up for it.

Kidding.

Ish.

But, while I was there I fell

madly

deeply

head over heels

in love

with the most fabulous jacket.

{very Marc Jacobs, dontcha think?}

But, it was a little out of my comfortable spending range, so I sat and thought about it while enjoying a glass of wine.

{ponder, ponder, ponder}

And then I finally decided, that if I left without it, I would forever (and I'm not being dramatic) and ever regret it. So, I texted Jimmy, told him I was getting a birthday present from him for me, and then ran as fast as I could to get my baby.

And this is how I left:

{Those sleeves!!! Could you DIE?}

{Grrrr to the blur}

And because I need you to appreciate this incredible piece of fashion as I do, here are some close ups:

And so concludes my story for Fashion Friday.
