Also, last time I wore this jacket I didn't snap it all like intended but the ugly silver snaps bothered me all day. I remedied this today by snapping the top one and pinning a brooch at the top (so Michelle O-like) and then simply covered the remaining two exposed snaps with brooches. I really like the look, and I think is elevates the look of my Kmart jacket quite a bit.

I don't blame you, those shoes are great! Also, I am in LOVE with your idea of putting broaches where buttons would be! You're so creative.
I love your outfit...I will have to try the brooches as buttons idea! I don't mind spending a bit on items that I will get alot of wear out of...like your fab shoes!

I just wanted to let you know that I bought a wide, stretchy black belt at lunch today at Marshall's. If I end up finding a way to wear it, I will post a pic on my blog and leave you a link! Because the belt purchase was 100% inspired by you.
The brooch trick is brilliant! You always have the best ideas for workarounds ...
Looking oh so chic today!!
I freaking love it! Love the color combo & the wide leg pants are too great. XOXO, MissAmy
Sometimes I'm not even sure why I comment, because all I ever want to do is tell you how fabulous you look. Maybe I will copy and paste that every day!
Cute Jacket...love the brooch idea
I LOVE what you have done with this jacket and the broach! OMG you are so creative! I have passed by this jacket on the clearance rack and Kmart and I would have never in a million years though to line the up like that.
Love it!!
Oh and when you are done with the shoes - just send them on over to me??!! It does not matter if they do not fit or I have to wait a bit!! :)
Oooh I've worn 2 brooches before but never felt the possibilities of more than that. INSPIRED!!! Thanks
This is such a fabulously chic and happy outfit at the same time. Love it!
Oh my gosh - I LOVE those Pucci heels!!! So fabulous and you can totally mix and match them with so many outfits. I also really like what you've done with the brooches. I need to get me some more of those...
