First a windowpane-printed dress, now a menswear blazer — even I’m surprised by my love for plaid this season! Considering how essential a menswear-inspired, relaxed blazer is in my closet, I knew I would get plenty of wear out of this one, even with a pattern.

On a different note, if you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen that I got a second piercing on one ear this past weekend at Esqueleto! As my friends and family, and especially David can tell you, I was so anxious about the idea of voluntarily inflicting pain (my threshold is non-existent) for days leading up to my appointment. But because it was with J. Colby Smith, I knew I had to follow through — his work was what inspired me to want a third piercing in the first place, many years ago. I’m so glad I did! And everyone was right, it barely hurt 😉
