This jacket and I go way back to my early blogging days (can you believe I’m approaching 6 years of putting photos of myself on the Internet like a weirdo?). In fact, this jacket got me featured in the April ’14 edition of Redbook Magazine and I remember thinking I was hot shit. When tens of people all over the country are flipping past a tiny picture of you while sitting in doctors’ waiting rooms, that’s when you know you’ve really made it.

My style has changed a lot since then (partially because my lifestyle has changed), and I’ve gotten rid of most of the clothes I had when I was in law school. But this jacket has stood the test of time for some reason. I’m not the sentimental type, so I can only assume it’s because I haven’t stained or shrunk it yet, and I still like it! It’s rare that all those things coincide, and who am I to argue with the fate of an olive green jacket?

I might not repeat outfits, but I definitely repeat outfit formulas. It wasn’t that long ago that I did the striped shirt / long vest / ponte pants combo. Remember this? For this slightly springier version, I just switched up the accessories and selected one of my 1000 other striped shirts. Maybe it’s the influence of my upcoming trip to Paris (!!!), but I seem to be wearing stripes even more than usual lately. The next outfit post on deck may or may not also involve stripes. OK, yes, it does. BUT, they’re not black and white!

Any guesses? You’ll just have to come back and see. Momma wants that web traffic.
