I bought this blazer from an instagram shop, so it's not something that I was able to try on prior to buying. I had a feeling it might be a little big on me, but I said what the heck, and bought it with hope that it'd fit. Unfortunately, it did turn out to be a little big. It's already what's considered a boyfriend blazer, but I still don't think it fits like it's supposed to. So, I thought to even it out I'd wear something super girly and some tight pants. I think this outfit is just ok. Kinda boring. Oh well. If you have any insight on styling this blazer, throw it at me!
I'm so glad it's Friday! I'm back to the Monday-Friday shift at work, so you know what that means?? Garage sale-ing on Saturdays!! I'm actually going to my hometown this weekend, so my mom and I will be going hit up some yard sales first thing in the morning. I can't wait!
i actually really love this outfit! i saw the thumbnail on facebook and was immediately prepared to pin it to all the boards i have to help my friends dress themselves. this is the perfect "i'm a twenty-something with a big girl job" outfit! i think we might think certain outfits are boring compared to other bloggers, but this is very real and attainable! i effing love that blouse, and i like the bracelet you chose too! really, i love this outfit, and i'm going to pin it 50 times right now.

I like how you've styled it! It would look cute over a summery dress, too! But I love it with the skinnies and floral top!
ReplyDeleteI think this looks super cute! I am a blazer fan all the way. Maybe I would pair it with a printed bottom or colored denim of some kind. I also love to wear my black blazer with printed or woven scarves.. it kind of adds texture in addition to color for me. I also LOVE throwing on a vintage brooch... which can sound a little crazy but it adds a level of fun and is so easy! -Alexandra

I actually think you styled it perfectly! The floral top and pretty shoes look great and you've kept the silhouette of your overall look perfectly balanced.
ReplyDeleteThat top is so pretty! I like the mix of floral and stripes in one top. That just means you can match either pattern! I need a pair of black ankle pants. It's too hard to find certain things at Goodwill like basic blue jeans or anything black. I don't think I have the patience to look through them all and try to determine what they look like on. There are certain things-- like good basic tees, that are better found elsewhere. Haha
ReplyDeleteI really like this top. I am all for wearing my black blazers especially faking a suit with them. Those bow flats are adorable. I am reminded that I own a similar jelly pair in that beautiful blush shade. =)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see you style this with a dress. Maybe your lace dress? I think you have some really cute fitted resses that could look amazing with the blazer-- like a "I've got a secret under my blazer" look. Or I'd go casual with shorts and a tee and play the blazer off like a grandpa cardigan.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your shirt and flats here. Seriously. I'm suuuper into that light pink/blush color right now, and I love floral prints so much :)
ReplyDeleteI just love this. I'll echo Nicole's comment about look dressed for a big girl job! Fabulous outfit! :)
ReplyDeleteI think I'm actually in love with that top. Mix two of my favorite prints? Heck yes!
ReplyDeleteI think this looks amazing on you. The delicate pink shoes help tie it all together so well!!
ReplyDeleteThat blazer is perfection on you!!! I love this entire outfit! Those shoes are sooooo cute! That blouse is perfect for Spring with the flowers! Head to toe perfection!
