Sweater: LOFT {old}- size XXSP (similar here and assorted colors here)
Skirt: BB Dakota Ladson- size 0 (similar here)
Jacket: BB Dakota Herringford {sleeves shortened}- size 0 (similar here)
Tights: H&M divided 40 den – size XS (F21 version)
I got this BB Dakota tweed suit last winter and haven’t given it enough love. The blazer was purchased from a reader (thanks R.L) and the skirt I found on Ideeli. The entire suit was about $55- not bad for a thick tweed suit. I initially fell in love with it because it was so reminiscent of a Chanel tweed suit with the black velvet trim and chain accent welt pockets on the jacket.
The jacket is shaped very boxy and narrow when worn alone but as a set, there is just something I love about it. I ended up splurging and taking up the sleeves (they were extremely long) and had to pay extra to keep the velvet trim. I’m glad I spent the extra money because the velvet trim is really what makes the jacket stand out. The skirt (size 0) is a bit loose but can be held up with a belt.
What items in your closet do you forget about?
ADORE ADORE ADORE!
I know what you mean by neglecting clothes. I forget about my dresses the most I think.
Love finding old things in my closet. It's like getting new clothes. The outfit looks great on you.

Stunning Annie! This looks awesome!
Oh how I love these pictures, Annie! (I especially like the black and white one for some reason). When I read about the jacket being boxy I went up and down to try to find a picture with your jacket on you but found none. LOL.
To answer your last question – Too Many! 🙂

Love the combo of mustard and fuchsia together – looks fab against the tweed backdrop! I'm curious to see what the jacket looks like when zipped up. I recently found an ivory corduroy blazer in my closet (from 10 yrs ago!) and was thrilled that it was it still fit 🙂
love your mix of purple and yellow!!! and i always forget about clothes in my own closet…. bad habit!!!
Love the jacket! I have been hunting a perfect tweed suit for a long time.
That suit is simply gorgeous. You have styled it perfectly as well.
I just posted about a blazer that I recently rediscovered in my closet. I just LOVE taking the time to "shop my closet" and discover forgotten loves. Don't you?
