Blazer: Forever 21
Shirt: Halogen
Jeans: rag & bone
Shoes: Jimmy Choo
I got a comment awhile back from one of my readers to do a lookbook on blazers so annchen, I thought of you today when I put on my blazer! As you can see from my Prepster lookbook, there are so many looks that you can put together with blazers.
You can probably tell, but I didn't put too much thought into my outfit. I actually got home from the airport at about 12:30AM the night before and by the time I showered and did a bit of unpacking it was about 2AM. So you can say after traveling for 12+ hours, I was TIRED. I woke up in the morning and didn't want to wear anything too complicated and so reached for one of my many blazers.
Whenever I wear this blazer, I always get compliments and people who ask me where I got it. There is always a moment of disbelief after I tell them it's Forever 21. I get so many emails from readers about how to choose clothing at places like Forever 21. As I mentioned before, fit is a really big factor but another key thing is to always look at the details. It can either make it look extremely cheap or extremely nice. The piping on this jacket is the detail that makes this jacket look more expensive than it really is.
My bangs are growing to that awkward long-ish stage where I can't decide to go back for a trim or to just let it grow out. I put a bobby pin to hold it back but of course the awkwardness came back to bite me as some of the bangs still slipped out and managed to give me a weird looking bald spot. So I promise I'm not going bald, just got some weird bangs! :)











i too am so surprised that your blazer came from F21! looks great!!!

ReplyDeleteMy bangs are doing the same weird thing - I just ended putting my hair in a pony tail. Lol.

I spent an hour at F21 last night... I just get too overwhelmed with everything. Next time Ill try to focus on details, that seems like a good tip.
ReplyDeleteI like this chic and casual look, but it must be uncomfortable wearing those the pointy heels. Any solutions for a short girl who wants to look casual yet chic in this kind of outfits?
ReplyDeleteSo cute! You've inspired me to dig out my blazer for tomorrow!
ReplyDeletemy bangs are in that stage too. Sideswept is what i was going for but the humidity is just awful!
ReplyDeleteLove your outfit and I have the same Choos!
I can't believe this blazer is from F21. I'm so thoroughly impressed. I'm definitely feeling this outfit a ton. You look so put together, preppy and sophisticated yet very fashion forward. Way to bring it together, lady! loves it!
