What I Wore

As you know from my previous blog post I decided on the army green wedge booties from Sole Society. Here's how I wore them for the first time. The sun came out, and the Mini Fashionista and I went downtown to meet a friend for lunch. 

I paired them with my very dark wash J Brand Jeans, a J Crew gingham shirt and my Barbour vest. 

What to wear them with next?

Another Steal

Last week I stopped by my favorite Portland consignment store, Seams To Fit , to see if I had sold any items and to check out the latest inventory. As I approached the rack of coats an olive jacket caught my eye...could it be a Barbour? I pulled it off the rack and sure enough, it was! A BRAND NEW (with tags) Barbour Beaufront Jacket and the Betty Interactive Liner (also in Olive)!  

My husband had a Barbour jacket growing up, and I bought him one a number of years ago for his birthday. Since then I have been lusting after my own but have never pulled the trigger...until now. This jacket retails for over $400 (and the vest for $100), and I got both for $199! It was too good to pass up.

For those of you who are not familiar with Barbour, it is an iconic British Lifestyle Brand founded in 1894. Think Fox hunting and country chic. It's been a brand of the British Royalty for years and was worn by the late Princess Diana. 

And now it's gone mainstream and is seen on some of the chicest celebrities like Alexa Chung and Olivia Palermo.

And now it will be seen on me!

The Great Outdoors

There is nothing better than a classic Barbour Utility Jacket. It is what I would call up-country chic. No surprise that J crew has tried their take at the style with the Downtown Field Jacket. I prefer the classic Barbour ($300+), but for $148 the J Crew version is a great option!
