This orange blazer was a recent purchase of mine. I instilled the secondhand-only shopping rule just a couple months ago but with the holiday season and subsequent Christmas shopping, I was in constant buying mode. Now that it's over and I'm back to reality, I'm done shopping. ...Hahahahaha. No, I'm not. 

But, seriously, isn't this blazer amazing? Also, a casual way to wear it.

yes, it is gorgeous, and the paring of the skirt and the top together are simply genius - it looks like a dress!

I absolutely love the bright orange and bold stripes!!!!  I'm on a shopping ban until September (gettin' hitched).  I have bent the rules a little.  Sometimes.  But really, it's not my fault because gift cards are a consumer trifecta of failure.  Depending on how you define failure.  Getting new rad clothes=no failure, but victory.  Spending money over the gift card allowance whilest on a shopping ban=minute failure.  Wa waaaaaaaa.

I love those stripes - you look fantastic!

Jessica said...

Every time I think "oh, this has got to me my favorite outfit" on you, you go and make an even better one! Seriously, you look fab. Sophisticated and fun all rolled into one outfit.

I love the pattern mixing with the splash of color! Deffinately a statement outfit! :)
I love the new photo shoot location... I opened the page and immediately thought you had the outfit pictures done in Italy or some European city-hehe

Laura said...

The pattern mix is crazy but I love it. But you're right it's the blazer, I love it!

Ok, so  normally I feel like you pull off looks that I could in no way ever wear, but this is amazing. I love it. I never thought to mix stripes with stripes, but you pulled it off! Dang girl, you're like a super model!

Best,
Nicole

You totally could. Start off with pairing it basic/neutral colors first.

Unthinkable? Me? I'll take it! ;)
