Vintage Nerd

Apparently angry/stoic is my outfit picture face? *sigh*

This jacket is actually an old marching band blazer I acquired in my high school days, and easily one of my favorite things in my closet. According to a bit of research, it's probably around 30 years old, but it's in pretty good condition, sans the button that keeps falling off. I also decided to take out the shoulder pads as that's a little too retro for me, but other than those I adore every inch of it.


Aaaahhh I LOVE the inner pocket!
Even though I've had this blazer for a few years, I've only recently started wearing it on a more regular basis. Part of it is the confidence to wear something like a marching band jacket as an everyday item in public (!!!), but it's also the issue of how to style something like that. I don't know that I've got the styling science entirely down yet, but it's something I'll keep working on. I like this jacket too much not to!
