Ladylike Tweed and Edgy Leather

A tweed jacket is the epitome of what a proper lady wears. If you guys have ever watched Dharma and Greg, you know what I'm talking about. Kitty Montgomery has these awesome tweed skirt-suits that are soooo 'country club' and 'first lady'. When I wear my tweed jacket, I think of her. Since I'm not quite the lady she is, I wanted to pair it with something more edgy and me- my leather shorts of course! Oh, and not complete without some skulls either!

Am I still a lady? :)

When I saw this tweed jacket online on H&M, I was skeptical about it fitting me. You know, I have long arms and wide shoulders. Nothing remotely blazer-like at H&M fits me- the sleeves are always 5 inches too short and the shoulders not wide enough to suit my small waist. But I'm so glad I went to the store to try it on because the size 4 fit like a dream! It had ample sleeve length and slight shoulder padding that allowed for roomier shoulders. I was pleased. Though it was $59 Canadian, I had a $10 coupon off $50 (or $20 off $100+) which I thought made it worth it. Go to the end of the post to find the coupon!

Here you go! Just print it out, hand it to the cashier, and you're done like dinner. They apply the coupon by taking $10 or $20 off one item. The good thing is that if your item is less than $50 (like a $20 shirt), buy some other items to make it $50, then ensure they apply the discount to the item you want, and return the rest. They don't take off the discount! So your shirt would be $10 in the end :)

Apologies to my international readers, the coupon is for Canadian stores only~
