WIW: Orange Suede

I wore this outfit to church this morning. It was chilly, but warmed up and I carried the jacket home. The jacket was my mother’s. I remember her wearing it when I was about ten.

Wow, that's an amazing jacket -- gorgeous with the chambray and white!

You look great in the burnt orange! Not one of your usual colours so a terrific wild card.

What a great color on you! It looks so good with the blue and cream. It’s pretty amazing that vintage piece can look so current. Well done!

Blue and orange is such an exciting combination. Love that you are wearing your moms jacket; that is very special.

Suz, thank you. I didn’t think of it as a wild card, but you’re right. It’s kind of a surprise.

Kelly, thank you. That’s why I like it - the style is not dated at all.

Lana, thank you.

Inge, thank you. I recently lost some weight, and thought I’d see if it fit. Hallelujah!

Joy, thank you. This jacket would fit seamlessly in your wardrobe.

Angie, thank you. I sent my mother an email letting her know I had worn it. She would gave been in her early 40s when she wore it.

Carla, thank you.

Merwoman, thank you. I have a couple of orange tops, but they are both more of a true orange.

Rachy, thank you. I never would have thought.

Jaime, thank you.

Aquamarine, thank you. I remember one time she couldn’t find her car keys. We turned the house upside down looking for them. They were in one of the pockets of this jacket.

Slim cat, thank you.

AJ, thank you. The jacket is in perfect condition. The outside is pristine, and lining is perfect, too.

Star, thank you. ‘Home grown” - I like it!

Janet, thank you. I love that its style is current.

Janet, you look absolutely beautiful. I love the outfit, your hair, everything. Thanks for posting this. It’s so, so cool.

You know you had me at orange suede. I agree with Catherine that "cool" is a great adjective for this outfit. The guitar strap on your bag is just the right patterned touch.

Catherine, Jenn, thank you. I don’t think I’ve ever been called cool before. Okay, not me, my outfit, but still.

I love that you remember your mom wearing this jacket and now you can wear it too! And that it's suede!!

BlueJay, thank you. I never wore many of my mother’s clothes. By the time we were the same height, I was much thinner than her. I was a string bean back then. I was lucky that she had hung onto this!
