Matador

When searching around in the upstairs cupboard (Where mostly boxes and suitcases are kept) I came across a rather nice Paisley, matador style jacket. On further inquiry, it turns out that M bought it back in the day from a fresh designer called Lee Bender. Well that was about 20 years ago so I doubt she is still fresh but still, click on her name to be whisked away to her website! But as it is no longer to M's taste, it is now mine!!! The excitement at this was, as you can imagine, fairly huge as the jacket is shoulder padded perfection! Better still, the detailing on the back ensures that it is a good fit round the waist and the neckline is interesting and eye catching with a rope trim. I cant wait to wear it! Surprisingly, despite the colour, it goes with quite a lot of things in my wardrobe, which I wasnt expecting.

Put it on to demonstrate shoulder pads....I love

If it is possible to be in love with a jacket, then I am in love.

On a slightly less wonderful note, it is World Book Day tomorrow (Luckily as it is just what I need in my life at the moment) and because its our last year of being able to dress up, my class is going all out and we are going as full cast of Peter Pan. I am a pirate, which is good as it is easy however it does mean that I get to spend the day wearing an eyepatch. Enough said really.
