I'm on the Hunt, I'm after you... and I'm Hungry Like the Wolf



plaid jacket, red pants, hunter boots

What I'm Wearing...

* Vintage plaid blazer/jacket. With vintage brooch on the lapel which was my grandma's. See the jacket here with purple jeans.
* Cashmere sweater from Jigsaw London... you've seen this recently here and I clearly need to stock up on more sweaters! I'm almost thinking of doing a little challenge, asking you lovecats to send me your old {clean} sweaters to see what I can come up with outfit-wise. Thoughts on that?
* Rusty red corduroy skinnies by Blank Denim via Shopbop {loving all of these... Green, Gray}
* Chunky knit beret beanie by Bebe {& a gift from my friend Alison See us together, me wearing it differently with the scarf here} which I've tucked all my hair up into except for the the front, obviously. I was surprised it all stayed up in it for the few hours we were out and about! It's thick rather than the really flimsy ones, which I lOVE.
* 3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli bag
* Hunter Boots {I can't find my exact scaled style anymore} Better on days where the snow has melted a little or rainy days. Full snow days call for warmer snow boots I've learned.
* Tom Ford sunglasses {my oldest and go-tos still!}
* Earrings, gold and black crystal hoops by T+J Designs

* Title: lyrics from Duran Duran "Hungry Like the Wolf" {which I'm sure I've used before as a title}

I love my Hunter Wellies, I honestly do. But mine have such a strong and foul odor, I have to keep them in my garage stairwell so that my closet doesn't smell like a tire shop. Still, every time I open the door to walk down to the garage, PUKE smell. It's really the craziest thing! But again, I love the look of them. They are just classic! I posted this on Instagram a few weeks ago and had mixed comments. Some Hunter owners experienced the same thing and others didn't. It seems like the original rubber Wellies don't give off such a strong rubber odor as mine, being the Boa or Snake style do, maybe because it's thicker rubber? I'm not sure. What's funny is that I only noticed the smell mildly when these boots would stay in my old closet. Like I only smelled it when I got close to them, but here, man, they just smell up an entire room! Maybe my nose is more sensitive up in these higher altitudes? Who knows. But there you have it ;)

You seem to have been lucky with the weather where you were! Looks like you got a nice covering of snow but not too much… Just wanted to say your brooch is really nice on the lapel of your grandma's jacket (great idea by the way!). Wondered whether you had ever thought of setting the jacket off with a classic watch? I think it would go well with the tartan check. Could be a thought!

Darn, I wish I would have kept two of my sister's plaid blazers. Now I'm going to have to find a new one! I love that look, Maegan.
