Well this time around I've been eyeing the houndstooth blazer look. Happens every other store had great pieces but even though I liked them I wanted mine to be unique and that's when I turned to the men's department. I figured I could pull off a blazer made for a small man and that my odds of someone wearing it would be down to zero. So I ventured into the men's vintage department and found my very own. It's an impeccable brown printed houndstooth, fully lined, made in Spain - what else could I ask for ? A good price, well, I got that too, although it was not as cheap as this one ! Do you already own a houndstooth blazer?

Me gustan las tendencias, pero escojo cuál llevar cuidadosamente. Me tomo mi tiempo y considero su uso, cuánto la usaré, su costo por uso y si me encontraré en la calle con alguien llevando exactamente la misma prenda. Esa soy yo.
Bueno, tengo ya tiempo de tenerle el ojo puesto a un blazer de pata de gallo. Una de cada dos tiendas a las que he entrado tienen blazers con este diseño, pero quería que el mío fuera único y fue allí donde decidí que lo buscaría en el departamento de caballeros. Me hacía sentido buscar un blazer hecho para un hombre pequeño y así evitar encontrar a otra persona con el mismo saco. Y lo encontré: tonos marrón oscuro, cruzado, impecable, forrado, vintage y hecho en España! Y a un súper precio, aunque no tan barato como este. Y tú, ya tienes tu blazer con print de pata de gallo ?

I love that blazer on you! What a smart idea to branch out and shop the men's department--such a good way to get the slightly oversized look that is spot-on right now.
I actually do own a houndstooth piece in my closet, but I really love your blazer. The color and fit are fabulous on you.
That outfit is awesome and I LOVE that jacket Lorena! Gorgeous brooch as well.

I love the cut of menswear on a woman. It's just perfect. This colour/pattern of plaid/tweed doesn't ring my bell, but it's really a great jacket on you.
This blazer looks wonderful on you too! :) It's nice to have one of a kind pieces when you shop vintage stores! :)
Hope you are having a nice start to the week, and you got some bargains in the sales. I ended up grabbing a little something on Cyber Monday after resisting temptation all weekend, haha!

You rock this look, Lorena! It's a great idea to explore the men's department to put together a style all your own.
Love love love the blazer! Treasures will sometimes be found in unexpected places (usually a vintage store!)

Lorena, You know that I love houndstooth blazers, I have a few from mym mom's closet, and mine too. I love them, they are timeless and fit great with different trendy adds. Last month I looked for some new houndstooth blazer in internet shops and I was surprised, that there is no any! I cant believe but it is true. Ok, young womens maybe dont like houndstooth but 40-60 womens too? There is no demand! The way is second hand shops :( Anyway, Your is nice, but a little to long. Overally this outfit is very good.
