When: Sunday, April 10, 2022 // Weather: 60s // Real life: Sunday Funday at the art museum + cocktails and dinner
Many moons ago when I was a brand new college grad entering the work force, I used to buy lots of tweed and other “mature” looking clothes because I desperately wanted to look older and not like the wee baby 22-year-old idiot I was. Youth is wasted on the young, as they say.
22-year-old me would have worn a jacket like this one (but an H&M version because I made $8/hour) with a pencil skirt and heels because that’s what serious, grown-up, working women wear. Right? I was basically Romy and Michele when they wear suits and put their hair in French twists and ask for the “business woman special” at that diner. (Just for kicks, check out this post from 2013.)
You see where this is going, right? Fast forward a *small handful* of years and I still like tweed, but I intentionally pair it with distressed jeans and sneakers …in the hopes that I’ll get mistaken for a 20-something.
