Elbow Patches

Shirt: Splendid | Cardigan: Gracie B | Jeans: GAP | Shoes: Target | Necklace: Madewell | Bag: Angela + Roi | Lipstick: Radiant Cosmetics (Moscow)

A few years ago, I would have cringed at the thought of elbow patches on shirts.  But through the years, I have become drawn to it, and now own many shirts with elbow patches.  I just think that they are a fun little detail to spice up a top or outfit.  And you don’t ever have to worry about getting a hole in your elbow from all that jumping up and down and swinging your arms around – whenever an occasion for that may rise.  Speaking of which, when are knee patch pants going to start being in style??  Because I’ve already made some holes in the knee portion of some jeans I own… who is with me on the knee patch jeans??

   I’m not sure I’m ready for the knee patches to make a comeback (unless they’re in cute shapes like hearts or something), but this cardigan’s elbow patches on stripes is awesome!

   Totally with you on the elbow patches, Sandy… it took me awhile to get used to them, but now I’m all for them! I love your cardigan, especially the soft colors and stripes.

   Oh, and I’m totally supporting your shoe addiction!!

   Cute flats! My mom told me she bought me leopard flats from Target. I hope they are the same ones

   Target will finally be opening near my house, I’m so excited. I’m just wondering if Canadian Targets will have the same products and prices as in the States.

    Such a cute little outfit. I completely agree with the elbow patches. I would have hated it years ago, but now I think they’re such an adorable little detail.

    I am more likely to buy something if there are elbow patches now, back two or three years ago, heck no!
