The Nordstrom fairy brought me some gifts this week, including this baseball jacket and these bracelets! Such a nice little fairy. I actually saw this stuff in-store but I ordered it online so I could get a visit from the fairy. Or because I like to give myself a little time after I see stuff I like to talk it over with my closet. “Closet, do you think you could be friends with a lace jacket and some cool spikey bracelets?” My closet said yes. So here we are.
Seriously though, I thought this jacket was so cool. I like that it’s sporty in structure but completely unsporty in material. Which is appropriate, because I myself might appear to be fit and athletic, yet I have absolutely no skill at any sport.
I have a funny story about my baseball skills, actually. I remember in middle school gym class when we had to play baseball (or wiffle ball, whatever it was) for the first time. I went up to bat and couldn’t hit a ball to save my life. Then the gym teacher asked if I was left-handed. I’m not. He said that was the problem…I was facing the wrong way! So I turned around and hit right-handed.
Made no difference whatsoever.

You know what lace makes me think of? Vintage. You know what vintage makes me think of? The Gems & Jam Giveaway that you still need to enter. Get on it!

I love that jacket! I was looking at something like this weekend but I was afraid it wouldn’t be warm enough. Does yours keep you warm?
I would classify it more as a cardigan. It was in the 40s this day so I wore a coat over.
Very cute! I love it. I can’t wear turtle necks but you rock it. I almost wish your shoes were red or something though, but this is a perfect casual day look!

Cute! I love the lace jacket. Where is your turtleneck from?
It’s an oldie from Target!
Very cute jacket! Perhaps the problem with your middle school baseball skills was that you weren’t wearing a lace baseball jacket. It seems like the only logical explanation.

Loving this look. I like the accessories you added to it!
Love the mixing of fabric (lace and stripes) and the distressed denim adds a touch of tough chic grunge to the outfit mixed with classy girly sophistication. 🙂
