Thrift Style Thursday - Brilliant Blazers

I worried I would have to sit this week's Thrift Style Thursday out - I didn't have a blazer I felt was "Brilliant" and I was having some trouble finding one - until we went to the thrift store on Mother's Day and I found this one!  It's one of the boldest things I own now and even a little out of my comfort zone -  yes I love orange and peach and those shades - but this is definitely more bright/neon than what I usually go for!  The Pants Monkey said it looked good though, so I had to give it a chance!

Blazer - Sweet Child (thrifted), Dress - American Eagle (very old)
Shoes - Dr. Scholl's (DSW), Necklace - teether necklace (Zulily)


Then after I got it home, I worried I wouldn't find something to wear it with - then I realized it goes with basic black if nothing else and actually, I think I have some other ideas too, but I went the safe route with black for today.  Mr. Monkey said he liked the combination this morning, so I always feel pretty good when I get his stamp of approval! 


Oliver is digging this blazer too - it was almost a little too distracting for him when I was nursing him this morning!  I'll have to make sure I pull it off later before feeding him.  He's super into colors right now, so I shouldn't be surprised!

    This blazer is a great colour and cut on you - it looks like a really good fit. LOVE it. Wear it with blue - orange and blue are always a winning combo.

    I think this is a great find! It would be so great with a pair of white skinny jeans and loose tank, too! I love the color!
