Striped Sundays – Pinstripes and Pleats
Nothing quite like a long weekend (or any holiday really) to make you slow down and appreciate the little things.
Such times of rest and relaxation (or in my case recovery courtesy of a pesky cold) often come hand in hand with reflection. Of yourself, your goals and aspirations. Such reflection is greatly important, however it can be all too easy to dwell on what is yet to be rather than celebrate what has been. Over the years I have learnt (sometimes the hard way) to both accept and
embrace the time it can take to achieve these goals or milestones. Such good things are worth waiting and more importantly working for.
It pays to be patient.
Even on a pinstripe level it seems thanks to some patient wish list watching. With the exception of a few investment staple pieces such as this pleated skirt that I picked up a few years ago, I tend to ponder potential purchases whilst sneakily waiting for them to go on sale. As was the case with this pinstripe blazer that I recently picked up for an absolute steal. Tailored pieces can often be tricky, however I am thrilled with the fit and quality of this blazer that I have already gotten plenty of wear out of in both work and off duty situations.
