Things you are not surprised to see - me wearing another beanie (best solution for my current long hair unsureness), & me talking about my obsession with tweed again.

I have talked about investing in tweed, about my journey to find the perfect tweed jacket, & even heralded the tweed jacket as one of my 50 closet staples that will serve the foundation for a fully functional wardrobe. 

Why is the tweed jacket on my short list of closet necessities?

Tweed is not only a classic piece, easily dressed up and down, and versatile enough for many seasons, and outfits: 

See here these fabulous bloggers pairing their tweed with dresses, leather, denim, and flowy blouses

The tweed jacket that made all of my dreams come true, was a classic salt & pepper weave with special details like chains & spikes. To get the classic Chanel-esque look, choose a cropped black & white number with chic piping on the pockets. Or for a modern update on this ladylike piece, pick one in a pop of color, or sporting a chic moto-zipper accent

If you are tweed-jacket-less, get your tweed on & shop my favorite picks (Target is killing their tweed jacket selection right now!):

for those that wait

Here it is: my souvenir from some recent travels around Nice, France. I enjoy picking up special items for my wardrobe to remember trips by... and this might be my favorite clothing souvenir to date. A tweed jacket is something that has been on my wish list for like EVER... and I have talked about my desire to get a classic tweed jacket in no less than 5 posts {here, here, here, here, and here}... see, not lying!
