Chanel Tweed Jacket

I've always been crazy about Chanel tweed jackets. They're timeless and so nonchalantly decadent when paired with a simple t-shirt and jeans. I've been lucky to have bought a few vintage Chanel jackets at ridiculously low prices but since I knew nothing about tailoring and lived hundreds, if not thousands of miles away from the nearest Chanel store, I gave up trying to alter them to suit me so off they went on eBay. *sob* I've regretted my actions ever since. 

Take a look at this. I tore a page out of a magazine back in 2003. The look is still current even though 7 years has passed.



I love everything about this. The contrasting red boucle jacket against the striped tee with a black stole thrown carelessly over the neck.



Here are more examples of Chanel tweed jackets worn by celebrities.
