I Collect: Vintage Striped Blazers

I'm going to use the I Collect series as a way to document what I have in my closet. I have a tendency to keep buying the same thing over and over again, and hopefully this will help curb that habit!

This vintage blazer has the cutest peplum with a double layer, but the shoulders need work. As anyone that deals with clothing knows, once you snip out the gigantic shoulder pads, the upper part collapses and grows two sizes. Luckily, the silky fabric is thin and unlined, so I think it should be an easier fix. 

I found this 1980's Christian Dior blazer at a thrift store in Savannah. It has charcoal stripe in a silk or silk/cotton blend fabric. 

  

This is a super lightweight silk blazer with a black paint stripe, perfect for spring and summer evenings.

This vintage blazer was a recent find and I'm using it as a transition coat until the weather turns warm. It's made out of a mohair fabric in a medium grey and ivory stripe.

I have a lot of mini collections that I thought I would start posting on the blog. I'll start with my newest collection, Chanel nail polish, since Santa added to it on Christmas morning.

If you have a collection you want to share drop me an email with jpeg images no bigger than 600 pixel width. If it fits the blog I'll share it in this column.
