Breath in (mmmmfff) (Maybe I'm a bit congested?). Breath out (ahhhhh). That is sound of one who is NOT wearing a belt. Maybe it's because I don't have much torso to work with, but the whole belting phenomenon has me in an oxygen deficient state most of the time. I'm grateful for other waist-defining methods that allows my ribcage room to expand as it should.
I have this little jacket in both light khaki and the muted blue color you see here. I bought them forever ago (probably 5+ years) at Target on clearance and the cost-per-wear is so low now I think I owe Target a few bucks. It's such a smart design. Think of it as a structured alternative to a cardigan. The tab-button closure hits at exactly the right place and draws the eye in the same way a belt would. Whoa. I just went all Stacey London on you, didn't I? Well, there are worse things, I suppose...
Simultaneous figure-flattery and breathabilty? Sold.

P.S. As of yesterday, Spoils of Wear is on Facebook. So I'm feeling very exposed and vulnerable and like I want to run away and hide. Then I remember that there is no running from the Internet (or the future), so I better just get used to it. Please 'Like' me before I develop a social media complex, k?
P.P.S. I'm now quite obsessed with Instagram, though I'm not entirely familiar with it yet. Spoilsofwear is the name. We can be friends there too.

You are too cute! Love your blog!
I "liked" you. I feel the same way about putting my blog on FB as well. You were right about this jacket--totally worth it! I love when I buy things at a great price and wear the snot out of them! Such a great feeling (though you may or may not have tuned out the rest of my comment by now due to the word "snot" . . . )
la la love this look. And the shoes, they are perfect for you...and me. I might have to get some.

Love this outfit. I am waist belt obsessed but I think this jacket could make me much much happier than those belts ever could.
