Do you ever buy things just because you love them but have no idea when you'd ever wear them or what you wear them with? If not, then I'm very envious of your discipline and refusal to be swept up in see, want, need-in-my-life-right-now moments. If yes, then read on...
I snapped up this vintage red short-sleaved blazer in a vintage market in Sydney back in December. It was $10 which is around £6 and I couldn't resist it despite the hot day making it near impossible to even try it on and the lack of space in my travel bag. It had since languished in my wardrobe - it's bright red and definitely a "look at me" piece, it's short sleeved so not idea for an English winter and what on earth would it go with so as not to make me look like a 1980s power dresser?

Blazer: vintage, Top: M&S, Jeggings: M&S, Socks: Claire's Accessories, Shoes: Jones
I wore this to London Fashion Weekend a few weeks ago as I didn't have a clue what to wear and felt like it was a good excuse for dressing up in the daytime. I really enjoyed wearing this outfit, especially with the red lips. I popped into Yo Sushi for some lunch before I met my friend at Somerset House and some tourists asked me if I were an actress - they thought I was Melissa Joan Hart of Sabrina The Teenage Witch fame. I don't think I look anything like her but it was flattering and embarassing in equal measures.
What's your latest "I have no idea when I'll wear this" purchase?
