Wardrobery: 11/08 Flashback


Top: H&M, Blazer: Thrifted, Belt: Street Vendor, Jeans: e.a.p. Hiroshima, Japan, Boots: Thrifted, Watch: Bulova

An oldy but a goody: I wore this back all the way in November, but somehow it slipped through the cracks and never got posted. Looking at it, I long for weather that will allow me to wear my sweet little blazer as my sole shell. Though they are calling for weather in the fifties this weekend, so hopefully that day won't be too long in coming.

Speaking of weather: boy, did we get dumped on. Jersey City got hit with 6-10 inches on Monday, and New York was so snowed under that they cancelled school for the first time in FIVE YEARS. Facing blizzard-y winds and snows, and the chance of being trapped in the city with no means out, I had no choice but to work from home. Hopefully that's the last of the snow this season. Seems like we are getting our just desserts after only having one tiny snowfall last year.

As for the duds: I love love love my little blue blazer. I picked it up back in November in the children's section of a thrift shop. It fits me like a glove: a rather snug glove, as I have now discovered. I accidentally tore open a seam under the armpit last time I wore it. I want to take it to a tailor to repair it, but worry that I just may have a repeat performance next time I wear it.

Any sewers out there know if it is possible to add room under an armpit?

just split the seam and add something stretchy in between - should work i think. Of course I'm mostly a theoretical seamster and you should probably ask an practicalist.
