I keep seeing girls on the street in fitted, pretty, color coordinated suits and a far cry from the manly power suit of the 90's. I like the idea of a sweet little suit, crossing between Murphy Brown on the job and Audrey Hepburn as Jo Stockton in Funny Face with a bit of power and grace.
Also, it gave me an excuse to wear my new favorite shoes!
JCrew Factory blouse, Gap velvet blazer, Coach watch, Kate Spade wallet, Garnett Jewelry necklace, BDG pants, Bass saddle shoes

this while perusing Rookie today. Yes. EXACTLY what I was going for.
Super shoes -- and they suit your personality so well.
ReplyDeleteI am on the hunt for nice black pants/jeans so that I can wear an outfit similar to this! ALSO, BASS SADDLE SHOES! I *LOVE* those. Gosh, I love them so much.
ReplyDeleteThe shoes are a perfect addition to this outfit. They really make a cool, laid-back statement.

You look awesome! I've really been wanting a good pair of menswear-inspired shoes lately...this post isn't helping me fight that resolve, haha!

I nearly bought that GAP blazer at a thrift store a little while ago, but it's soo similar to a vintage one I already have, I thought I should hold off. Kinda regretting it since the shoulders on this one are more flattering than the one I have! I love how you're paired it with the black and white gingham and the saddle shoes. Very very cute! I also I have two pairs of those pants, haha. They're my favorite!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute outfit - I love the little velvet jacket!

I think it suits you too, a lot!
ReplyDeletei haven't embraced this look yet, probably because i don't like pants that much - but you look awesome! and i adore those shoes.

Those shoes are great and i LOVE the velvet blazer - such a nice outfit :) xxx
ReplyDeleteUGH do you notice that BDG cuts them differently now!? This pair and my jeans are from 2010 and now when I try to buy pants there they have changed the cut to be for people with NO butt/hips and if anything I've lost weight since then. SO ANNOYING.
ReplyDeleteIf this is your new apartment I'm officially in love! And want to see more! Oh, and I love the saddle shoes. : )
ReplyDeleteIt is! Its kind of a work in progress (and I need to get all the drops of paint off the floor before I do a blog post!) Its really REALLY bright.
ReplyDeletesomehow you make suits so lovely and appraochable!
ReplyDeletethis is wonderful. I love the shoes, and your little haircut.
Oh man you look great- and the little sneak peak of you apartment looks great too!!
ReplyDeletevery nice! I love the blazer, and of course the shoes!
ReplyDeleteIf I had a suit like that, I would probably wear it. I am still iffy on blazers! lol. Also, awesome shoes. I am rockin the saddle shoes this morning too, but mine have seen better days. I might have to look into those Bass ones!
ReplyDeleteLove the shoes! They're so very YOU. :)
ReplyDeleteI've SO not been into sweet dresses lately! It's all about pants and separates and more bold choices for me since last fall. I don't know what's happened! this looks very chic and very grown up, love it :)
