I know people look at me sometimes and wonder what the hell I'm thinking when I
get dressed in the morning. I mean, this outfit is definitely out
there...culottes, a silk nightie and those block wedge heels with fishnet socks!
I don't know, I think with it being the holiday season, I'm inspired to just
have fun with my clothes.
I guess you could say that's kind of a
motto I live by these days. If you're not having fun getting dressed,
then what the hell are you doing? I know, I know. It's just clothes some may
say, but for me it's an expression of who I am.
With my outfits, I can experiment with
different decades, or personas. I can be inspired by other people or by a
particular piece I'm wearing, which brings me to what I really want to tell you
about. This velvet blazer.
Back when I was in South Korea last month,
I made it a point to suss out some thrift shops. Here in Hong Kong, we can find
some great vintage pieces from Korea and Japan, but I figured that vintage
boutiques would probably be quite expensive. What I miss most living over here
are thrift shops, so I set out to find some in Seoul.
After doing some research, I found a chain
of thrift shops I wanted to check out called Vin Prime. Lucky for me,
there was one relatively close (or so I thought). It was an adventure to find,
and by far the most interesting location for a thrift shop. I actually had to
buy a train ticket to go into the subway station where the shop was located.
It was the jackpot, though. Designer
brands like Chloe, Yves Saint Laurent, Givenchy, etc. The shop in the train
station was mostly men's and women's clothing - coats, blazers, dresses,
sweaters, pants, and skirts. I was hoping there would be more denim, hats and
other accessories, but I loved what I found there.
I've been really into velvet and had hopes
to find a velvet blazer. I'd had several in my basket on Etsy, but wanted to
find one on my own in a thrift shop. I found a cool burgundy one almost
immediately as I walked into the shop. But then, remembering the advice of one
of my style inspirations, Beth Jones of B. Jones Style, I browsed
the men's section before leaving.
I was so glad that I did because there in
front of me was this amazing navy blazer. It's oversized in the best way, but
my favorite part is the personalized embroidery on the inside that reads K.
Fujimoto.
Men's blazers are amazing. They have all
these hidden pockets, and the tailoring is stunning. I wonder if Mr
Fujimoto had some killer velvet pants that matched this blazer. I'll never
know, but I imagine that he must have been a stylish dude.
Thanks again, Mr
Fujimoto.
