A Surprise Valentine's Dinner





I don't go thrifting very often, but I had the chance to a couple weeks ago when I donated a bunch of my clothes away.  I actually don't even know if you would call shopping at Buffalo Exchange "thrifting". It's like the high-end of thrifting.  But as I was going through the racks, I saw this little tweed cropped jacket and fell in love with it.  At $10.50, it was a little high for thrifting standards, but for a second-hand Chanel-esque knock-off, I'll take it!  (Btw, I'm still amazed I missed this item on Forever 21's website before it sold out!  My stalking skills are slacking, lol.)

And why am I so dolled up?  Well, I made dinner reservations for Adrian and I at a cute little Korean restaurant.  It's my little Valentine's day surprise for Adrian.  You should see this guy when it comes to
Bulgogi meat...  :)

Soo classy. I like the Chanel feel of this outfit. The long pencil skirt makes you look really tall & slim. I like it! :D

I really like your skirt too. Buffalo Exchange is the best. I love that store. Don't go as often as I'd like to, but when I do go, I always find cute things.

AWW... A surprise barbecue dinner for your fiance... I'm sure any guy would be drooling over this gift [literally!]

I think the cropped jacket is super cute for $10.50!

I'm so jealous you can wear cropped sleeves outside... darn Texas weather!

@Thoa haha, i'm hoping this warm weather is here to stay now!

Happy V-day Kileen!! OMG all you need now is a Chanel purse and you are all set!

I love the Chanel-esque of the F21 tweed jacket! So adorable and what a great deal!!!!

You look gorgeous AS ALWAYS! Do you ever have a bad day?LOL

kileen said... [Reply]

@Really Petite haha, i was thinking the same thing. a chanel purse would be perfect with this look. too bad they don't sell those at Buffalo Exchange. :)

and i definitely have my days where i'm not very happy with my outfits. fortunately i take about 40-50 pictures everytime so i usually have at least a decent picture of the outfit whether i like it or not, lol.

I instantly thought "Chanel" when I saw that first photo - what an elegant and sophisticated outfit! Perfect for V-day dinner :)
