in a blaze(r) of glory


I am finding that there is a theme to my outfits already this week.  And, it is only Tuesday.  I wore one yesterday and one today.  My plan is to wear one tomorrow.

Blazers.  They seem to be where my head is at.  Am I losing some casualness, “manning-up” at work, and jogging down my career path?  Or, perhaps I am over this whole thing called winter and I would rather not wear another sweater? Or, is it just a random pattern of the way things are this week? 


The one I am wearing today is an amazing find at Goodwill. It is made of horribly rough polyester and is completely home-made.  The print and the cute short sleeves make it amazing. 
If one thinks about blazers too long, did you know that the song “Blaze of Glory” by Bon Jovi worms it way into your head?  It would tickle me to have Weird Al have his own version:

I'm going down to work in a blazer of glory....

(Full confession: the internet provided me with the lyrics and the fact that it is from Bon Jovi.  The youtube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1n07PIhFBQ) is actually the first time I heard the song all the way through.  Meh.  I can see why everyone mostly sings along to the line that repeats about the blaze of glory thing.)
