THE jacket and THE stripes

I believe a few of the bloggers that I stalk follow will definitely agree to this when I say I have been whining over their cute jackets for the last couple of months. Finally I found my own, and right on time, because the Belgian weather has not been that good lately. I also found myself a perfect striped tee. I have been looking for one like this for aaaaaaaaages! I found it at H&M while I was actually searching the racks to find that skirt I wore in my previous outfitpost. It was love at first sight. 
 
Haha, my freckles make my face look grainy!
