Cold Weather Necessities // Swacket

About a year ago, I pinned this video from HARPUTS of San Francisco. HARPUTS states that "Ultimately, we aim to make easy clothing that can be worn multiple ways, accentuate many different body types, and lasts over time."
I love how versatile the "swacket" is. Depending on how the jacket is snapped, it can have at least six different looks. It also comes in a variety of fabric choices: wool, cotton, cashmere, lightweight wool, and nylon. Granted, this functional jacket costs a pretty penny, with the price ranging from $375-$800. The price sort of reflects paying $55 for six different jackets, but without the need for a closet that can hold six jackets! Next time I actually have a disposable income, I do hope to make this item my only jacket (unless it is summer time when that happens...)

Thrifty Tuesday

Yesterday my mother and I went to the thrift store. I'm on a mission to find a killer chair to recover with burlap coffee sacks, such as this:

I found a good contender, but I am going to go back next week and hope the pink tags are on sale! We had a bunch of other errands to run, but these Jeffrey Campbell Patch 2 Pumps caught my eye!

Even though they aren't my size... for $2.92, how could I say no? I am either going to let someone claim them, or try to make a couple bucks at a resale shop. In the mean time, check out this cute Polyvore I found that includes them! Sassy librarian:

I had been on the lookout for a cute jean jacket. Last time we went, I had my eye on a size six Osh-Kosh one, but decided to pass. I'm glad I waited because I found this ravishing Wrangler jacket. Made in the U.S.A. = swoon worthy.

I can't wait to wear it on the motorcycle! Happy thrifting!
