I don’t go thrifting very often, but I had the chance to a couple weeks ago when I donated a bunch of my clothes away. I actually don’t even know if you would call shopping at Buffalo Exchange “thrifting”. It’s like the high-end of thrifting. But as I was going through the racks, I saw this little tweed cropped jacket and fell in love with it. At $10.50, it was a little high for thrifting standards, but for a second-hand Chanel-esque knock-off, I’ll take it! (Btw, I’m still amazed I missed this item on Forever 21’s website before it sold out! My stalking skills are slacking, lol.)
And why am I so dolled up? Well, I made dinner reservations for Adrian and I at a cute little Korean restaurant. It’s my little Valentine’s day surprise for Adrian. You should see this guy when it comes to
Bulgogi meat… 🙂

Soo classy. I like the Chanel feel of this outfit. The long pencil skirt makes you look really tall & slim. I like it! 😀

Happy V-day Kileen!! OMG all you need now is a Chanel purse and you are all set!
I love the Chanel-esque of the F21 tweed jacket! So adorable and what a great deal!!!!
You look gorgeous AS ALWAYS! Do you ever have a bad day?LOL
kileen says
@Really Petite haha, i was thinking the same thing. a chanel purse would be perfect with this look. too bad they don't sell those at Buffalo Exchange. 🙂
and i definitely have my days where i'm not very happy with my outfits. fortunately i take about 40-50 pictures everytime so i usually have at least a decent picture of the outfit whether i like it or not, lol.
SewPetiteGal says
I instantly thought "Chanel" when I saw that first photo – what an elegant and sophisticated outfit! Perfect for V-day dinner 🙂
