crayola stitches





This is yet another item I've repeatedly snatched from my mom's closet, and then slowly stopped returning. After snipping out the massive shoulder pads, this vintage masterpiece quickly became one of my greatest treasures (shocking I know since the mismatched patterns scream anything but me). I am crazy over the gradation of multicolored hues and the swatch of cartoonish fabric inlay. It looks like something I would draw with my childhood crayons but more updated and a lot more chic.

In more exciting news, I have been selected to join the ranks of the fashionable elite bloggers over at Teen Vogue's Fashion Click Blogger. I would definitely encourage you to stop by and check out what the fuss is all about! Thank you so much Teen Vogue, I am definitely honored!

    My goodness! That jacket is all kinds of wonderful! Moms seriously have some of the best stuff. Mine graciously gave me some of her old maxi skirts & dresses. Love 'em. But, back to your jacket: I love how perfectly your blue scarf compliments not only the blue stitching, but all the colors collectively. Lovely lovely piece.
