Brunch Basics

January 25th, 2012

Free People Sunglasses, Equipment Blouse c/o, Vince Jacket, J.Crew Jeans, Nixon Watch, Mulberry Bag, Steve Madden Booties

I love the ritual of Sunday brunch. I rarely savor meals – instead, often finishing either breakfast, lunch, or dinner while working at my computer. But there’s something about a long, leisurely brunch that has turned into one of my favorite parts of the weekend. Since this past Sunday promised gray skies, but no rain, I pulled out my leather jacket to tone down a bright blouse and casual jeans.

Loving the color and style of your blouse! I am obsessed with blouses lately…printed ones, solid ones, bright, muted, with a “bow-tie”, or button down. Love it paired with leather! Definitely going to give that a try. Perfect for southern california weather

I never can figure out how to wear Equipment blouses since they’re cut so wide. I love them so much, but I primarily wear skirts and it frequently gives a far more conservative look than what I’m going for. Love the way you paired it with pants and a leather jacket, though!

That is such a great color on you, Em! This sort of skinny jeans/loose top/cropped jacket look has been a go-to of mine lately. And your hair is gorgeous. Can I just tell you that the two-toned polishes I bought, after being inspired by a past post of yours, are STILL sitting on my bedside table, along with a pink nail pen?! I’m nothing if not a go-getter;)
