I decided to wear some thrifted finds to a family dinner last Sunday. My sister-in-law said, “You’d make a cute jockey.” And a blog post was born! Thanks K*!
jacket: thrifted Ralph Lauren {similar} // sweater: thrifted Marc Jacobs // leggings: UNIQLO // socks: UNIQLO // bag: gifted Dooney and Bourke {similar} // boots: Alex Marie {similar} // sunnies: Karen Walker
I couldn’t resist posting that last picture. It reminds me of Willow Smith’s “Whip My Hair” song! LOL! Some outfits are all about the details. I really love the little bow on the neckline of the sweater. And the plaid and ticket pocket on the jacket are so fun – maybe equestrian or grampa chic! Either way, it still made me happy to wear it! And both thrifted pieces being less than $30… well, you can’t ask for more.
Happy Monday Lovelies! Do you wear plaid blazers? And what do you wear it with?
You are so pretty, more like a model than a jockey! Love the inspiration though, such a classic relaxed outfit that blazer is perfect for it! :)

nice finds, love the blazer especially even though it’s not quite my style – the tailoring is beautiful and i love the socks peeking out. You do look a little like a jockey, a cute one :)
I love this equestrian inspired look! Your boots and jacket are fabulous!
See Me Rwar
You have fantastic hair and it looks great pulled back too!
That’s a fabulous equestrian inspired outfit – and what a deal for less than $30 for the items.
Your hair is getting so long, love it in a pony!
What fabulous thrifted finds – you can tell how nice the jacket is by the way the plaid stripes are so well matched seam to seam!
loving those tortoise sunglasses!
Nice, looks really comfortable!!
WHIP that hair girl! HaHaHa Your outfit looks so refined and distinguished Sam! If you were in a race, I would definitely bet on you. That’s a great blazer. I love the collar and pockets. Love the little bow on your top and of course your boots. Exquisite girl! :D

You belong at the Hampton Classic. Love this outfit to bits…no pun intended :)
My knees went weak when I saw this photo. I have a severe love and weakness for any jockey/equestrian/riding look. I think it’s super chic and elegant. Wow…love love love!!!
Sam,
You make a cute jockey I love every detail of this outfit and although I don’t own a plaid blazer you’ve inspired me to def get one.
I really enjoy reading your blog posts!!!! If you have a chance, please visit/follow my fashion blog. It will mean the world to me if you did. Thank you so much in advance!!!
How gorgeous is this outfit?! I LOVE it Sam…that blazer, the sunglasses – you look fabulous :)

Indeed…you look like a jockey ;p
I was going to ask if those were Karen Walker glasses cause they are so fantastic! I love this look, can’t believe you thrifted this amazing blazer and top. Love the purse too, you look ready for Aspen in Fall!
I love this! I don’t have a plaid blazer but now I am starting think that I may need one :) does my houndstooth version count?
I’m pretty sure it does!! The patterns are similar! :)
Your sister in law was absolutely right. Your outfit says ” jockey” inspired out loud and in a good way. Like how preppy and fun you look. I think a pair of white shorts would look great with this blazer too.
Forever21, i know right. They are becoming more and more ridiculous with prices and quality. I said bye bye.
This is a popular look here in my neck of woods. You’ll fit right in! Love the outfit.
Love the boots, the jacket and the bag!
Amazing items!
XOXO

I was in middle school when D&B bucket bags were totally the thing!! I really wanted one but they were WAY TOO EXPENSIVE!!! I was super psyched when my MIL gave it to me {from her mother}!! It took me back to the 80s!! :)
I like this! So timeless you could be in 1920 or 2012. Great look!
oh sam, i love this look. very smart and stylish!!
