Since I hadn't managed to wear it to work before getting laid off, and I would hate myself for letting it sit unworn for another season, I decided to pair it with my goes-with-everything chambray shirt and go shopping. There is no question that I wouldn't wear this to the office, but I think it suits me just fine for running around on the weekend, dodging puddles and battling crowds.

I am trying to shop more in my own closet this month. (Saving up for something) This totally reminds me of a blazer that I haven't worn on the blog yet. I doubt it will look as comfortable as yours but I should try styling it like you did here!
ReplyDeletelook at all the cute outfits i missed this season, didnt do much shopping coz of the baby bump. Really loving the blazer you look great!

You had this beautiful Max Mara blazer sitting in your closet, unworn?! Where do I even begin... except by saying that I'm so glad you took it out because it is a beauty and definitely deserves to be worn (and reworn, and reworn.) Personally, I'm actually more a fan of this kind of look with a blazer - casual denim skirt, comfortable pants, etc. - than of the overly business-like styling of them... But I can see this working beautifully in an office, too.

Your shirt and blazer are amazing(and not to mention your pretty necklace), but the best accessory is your smile. True style is knowing who you are and loving and accepting you! - Sierra of http://ragsexchange.com/ and http://styleactuallyblog.com/
