Winter tweed

Hello and thanks for stopping by my blog!

This week I am styling two classic tweed jackets

The first one is a boxy, cropped Chanel look, woven in kelly green,

with a bit of navy blue and ivory   

The shade of green is similar to one of Pantone's color picks

 for the upcoming spring and summer season

This year's new Mint is a bright and saturated hue,

much different from the soft, muted pastel of several years ago 

 

Anyway, I am wearing this tweed jacket layered over a green mock neck blouse

 I also wore this blouse back in my Christmas post in December,

and it seems like a good choice for the upcoming holiday of Saint Patrick's Day, too!

The skirt is a very versatile navy blue jersey flared knee length style 

I have worn this skirt frequently over the past few years

It goes with a lot of things and is a staple in my closet 

A classic color combination

Carrying a navy blue quilted chain strap bag

Wearing bold gold tone jewelry in a chain link bracelet,

and double entwined circle earrings

Black and blue mid heel T-strap sling backs to complete the outfit

My next outfit is with a completely different tweed jacket

 in a windowpane check of brown, pink and ivory

It is a semi-fitted wool blazer style from J Crew

I am wearing it here over a brown fine gauge knit sweater

and with a brown baby wail corduroy full skirt

 January and February are our coldest months, 

when I pull out all of my warmest and heaviest fabrics!

The checks are so nicely matched up

This unique bag is hand crafted by an artisan

using a vintage wooden cigar box as the base

I chose a mix of yellow and rose gold tone jewelry for this outfit

A mixed metal tubular necklace, rose gold bangle bracelet

and yellow gold tone square post earrings

Low two tone brown and tan sling back Many Janes to finish the look 

Tweed from a winter past:  2018/19

  This jacket is a subtly patterned tan tweed long blazer

It's part of a suit, here is the jacket and trousers worn together

Hope everyone has a good week!
