It's not often that you'll see me wearing a blazer. For some reason, I've grown to really dislike them. Probably because everyone and their mom seems to have one these days, which is such a hipster thing to say, but really! I've seen far too many frumpy, overly styled outfits with them, that I kinda just stopped wearing them about a year ago. This one, however, is a bit different. I like it because it's more boyish than the ever so common boyfriend blazer, yet still flattering with the cropped sleeves and the fitted shoulders. 

The bag from Doortje Vintage, is as you can probably tell, vintage. Let me elaborate on why vintage bags are awesome:
- The leather! I really don't like the pleather shit H&M and alikes do, and real leather bags are often way beyond my budget, so second hand is the way to go!
- The styles! When I go into New Look or H&M, I'll always find something to moan about: The colour of the hardware, no zipper or flap (that's like an invitation to pickpockets!), an ugly strap etc etc etc.
- The inside! Okay so I admit, I miss a cellphone pouch BUT! COMPARTMENTS ARE LIKE SOLID GOLD. Everyone probably knows what it feels like to stand in front of your door, trying to find your key when it's raining, when you're carrying ice cream in your grocery bags, when you really have to pee. Without compartments, my bags turn into black holes that eat all my stuff. True story.
So, consider me converted! The joy when I unpacked this beauty, oh my! I was still half asleep as the mailman rung me out of bed (goddammit haha), but that couldn't suppress the fun. I don't think I'll be buying any more non-leather bags again (except if they're like, €10).

Anyway, I'm ranting. The shop also carries shoes, accessories (belts and earrings as far as the eye can see!) and also some really nifty non-vintage graphic tees and sweaters! So go check it out! Be sure to move fast because the true gems get sold in no time! I will keep checking back for the bag of my dreams, a black leather hobo-esque shoulder bag, with optional fringes.

Now, on to the last bit of my outfit, the top! I managed to finally grow a pair and cut into my Every Time I Die shirt, that turned out to be even bigger than expected and due to the thick nature of the fabric (heavyweight cotton, whoa!) the shoulders would poke out so I had to cut the sleeves off. And so I did. I was going to add a tutorial but then I messed up a few times myself, haha so I guess that's just the way it's supposed to go.

Observation of the day: I noticed over 400 unique visitors from Hong Kong today. 你好! 你好。! (I hope wikipedia isn't screwing me over with these translations haha.)

Hope everyone's been having a nice week! Adios!
