Or maybe it's just me.
Anyway, where there are bugs, there are often flowers. In this case, those flowers are happily residing on my blazer today. I keep meaning to wear this blazer because I really do love it, but other outfits continued to oust it from the line up. Fret not, my pretty blazer, today was your day, and multiple people fawned over you. Plus, you fit perfectly into Sarah's April Challenge.
The Look:
Blazer: Lauren Conrad via Kohl's (similar from ASOS)
Jeans (jeggings...whatever): American Eagle high-rise (exact)
Flats: Audrey Brooke via DSW (love these Steve Madden ones)
Sweater: J.Crew Factory (exact--mine is positano blue...hello, city in Under the Tuscan Sun!)
Necklace: I really wish I could remember where I bought it, but a boy student struck up a conversation with me about it today. "Is that rose quartz, Ms. Wo? I really like that necklace." He loves my favorite book, The Alchemist, so he's clearly an awesome kid.
This sweater from J.Crew Factory is pretty much perfect. It's the right length, right color (cobalt always wins), and right thickness (not too thick for spring-ish weather). The lovely lady who teaches next door to me was wearing this sweater in purple today, which made me love the sweater even more.
I also wore the blazer this way...
(Well, I wore them this way in the dressing room. I wish I would've bought those pants!)
I wore the "warm rose" version of this sweater with my floral skirt:
Ooooh that blazer is so pretty! I actually saw it at kohls on the clearance rack a few times, and now you're making me wish I would've gotten it. I have the book th alchemist but I cannot for anything remember where or who I got it from or what it's even about, but apparently I read a couple chapters of it that I do not remember for the life of me. (Gosh is this what it feels like to get older?!) If it's your favorite book, then maybe I should read it?
ReplyDeleteI hope your surgery goes well and that you have a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteyayyyy floral blazer! Link this up next week for floral week!
ReplyDeleteOh dang, this blazer is gorgeous! Actually, everything about this outfit is gorgeous. No, everything about YOU is gorgeous! Good luck with your surgery next week!
ReplyDeleteYay for floral blazer! Those two JCrew sweaters are so pretty! They look a bit thinner which is what I should be wearing in Sunny California. I hardly get to wear sweaters so lighter ones would be a smart option for me. Thinner=better in this case.
ReplyDeleteI'm super jealous of the way those pants fit you! They look more like ankle jeans on you which I think is much more flattering. Good luck with your surgery! I hope everything goes smoothly and you recover pretty quickly!
Damn you for bringing up that creepy bug again...GROSS! At least you're wearing a darling outfit - seriously. I love it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, good luck with your surgery this week! I wish I lived by you so I could come hang out with you and keep you company while you recover. Maybe I'll send you a ridiculous video like the Little Black Raincloud one I sent you so long ago... ;)
I have too many thoughts about your post. So, get ready for a long comment!
ReplyDelete1. Love the blazer! I was looking for a floral cardigan this weekend, but now I think a blazer would be just as good. Maybe better!
2. I started reading The Alchemist this weekend and I couldn't remember who recommended it. I think it was you, based on it being your favorite book.
3. I have to disagree about house bugs being better than apartment bugs. I hate any bug that dares come inside. Just stay outside, bugs - then I don't have to freak out and smash you!
4. Cobalt continues to win - perhaps it deserves a theme week soon!
5. I hope your sinus surgery goes well and that you recover quickly!
Bugs are the worst. We're suffering with ladybugs in the house right now. I could think of worse bugs to have in the house...but still, I prefer no bugs at all. Flowers, on the other hand, are marvelous.
