I Like This Look For Spring

lolakimono — Fri, 10 Mar 2017 01:14:00 GMT

I would probably swap out the white shoes for pink ones.

I like it too. Fun, fresh and feminine.

I'd like the pink shoes too. In fact, I just got some that would be perfect.

I like that a lot...

I like this one as well, but I would swap out the dark denim for white and change the white tank for a coral one to make it more spring- like.

That's gorgeous! Where did you find the first outfit? Definitely pink shoes though!

It's from Nordstrom. Item #5275724

"Mural Structured Blazer"

The blazer is $75 and comes in 3 colors-

The tank is from Leith- "Mock Neck Tank"

$55- Item #5236838

Jeans-

BlankNYC Skinny Jeans (Dress Down)

$88- Item #5308890

I assume the shoes are also from Nordstrom, but they don't list the details.

I just did a quick search. The shoes could be these, from Sam Edelman.

"Filly Moc Toe Loafer"

They come in pink as well-

Franco Sarto has a light pink one- "Jolette Penny Loafer"

I think I would like a ballet flat or a strappy sandal with this, but since they show a loafer I thought I would try to find it.

I actually like the white shoes! Kind of a retro looking. I have a pair but they're Nine West

They can sell these drape-front cardigans all they want but you can't beat the the appearance of a well-cut tailored blazer.

@lolakimono you're the best! It's so nice having our own fashion maven here!

@Kachina624

I happen to agree with you wholeheartedly. Not a cardigan fan at all but for the exception of the classic that I wear buttoned up as a shirt. I'll take a jacket or blazer any day over a cardigan. I'm a big fan of structure

I really like the first outfit--fresh and fun for the upcoming season. Thanks for posting the picture and all the deets for where we might purchase!

@Andreatoo

I agree wholeheartedly! I am so over the big-unstructured-draped-flyaway-openfront-no need for attention to detail because this lightweight stretch fabric will fit any body or at least that is what we tell them--offerings in the marketplace.

My purchases for the upcoming season will be much more tailored and I am excited to revisit the return of the blouse!

Gorgeous! ....and because I am matchy matchy...I would do a blush pink handbag too....

I think the top would look good with long white pants and a pink or red demin jacket. I would not wear those jeans.

I like the overall look.... and that is definitely within my style.... but IMO the blouse is just a tad too fancy/formal for those particular jeans because of the high neck and shirring. I'd wear olive shoes. No need to bring more attention to my big feet. :-)

I got very similar jeans at Kohl's for around $35. Think they were Lee's.

Thanks! I love a lightweight blazer with jeans in spring... and I love colored loafers with jeans. This looks like my uniform. I'm sooo ready for spring jackets.

@SaRina ~ I tried on Lee's jeans at Kohl's earlier this week. They were called "Dreamjeans" and looked like the same stretchy fabric as QF "Dream Jeannes" -- hmmm.....

For those of you who still love blazers, Chadwicks online always has a nice selection of traditional blazers in a variety of fabrics. Normally, they are very reasonably priced. Not designer, but basic.

When I worked, I had a wardrobe of linen blazers that always looked great with almost anything.

I've never made the shift to an unstructured top and thought I was just unfashionable!

I still prefer the look.
