Hello forgotten friend


I bought this vintage Christian Dior blazer a little over four months ago when I first came to New York. I arrived in the midst of a heat wave, when the sun beat relentlessly down and at the time I remember thinking I'd never been so hot in all my life. Just the idea of a wool coat in the sweltering July heat was enough to bring on heat rash and I couldn't even bear to look at it. Pushed away into a suitcase and forgotten about, I pulled it out last week for the first time.

{Outfit: Blazer: Dior, skirt: Forever New, shirt: H&M men, boots: Zara}

Oh, hello forgotten blazer! :) To pull forgotten things out the closet is like shopping, isn´t it? This high feeling when you put it on and think about how to combine it...

It looks lovely on you!
