Dressed up Basics

October 6th, 2011

Vintage Aviators, Topshop Jacket, Club Monaco Shirt, Vince Shorts, VPL Boots, J.Crew and Vintage Bracelets, Reed Krakoff Bag

I got this tuxedo jacket at Topshop a couple years back and it’s proven to be one of the most utilized items in my closet. It’s great for adding a bit of polish to fancier outfits or for dressing up more casual pieces without much effort. Since we’re currently in the midst of an awkward shift in seasons, it’s been integral for keeping me warm in the morning and then taking off mid-day for an entirely different, and relaxed vibe.

You’re right, the blazer does add a nice clean cut to the rest of the outfit. Very well put together!

I love jean shorts that are all ripped up. The black blazer looks so chic with the otherwise casual pairing of jean shorts & gray T. The boots are an unexpected finish. Also – obsessed with that bag!

How are you doing today? x

Hey! Love the jacket, love the boots, but I am not a fan of the pockets hanging out beneath the shorts. It takes a casual, chic outfit and makes it look a little cheap.

Great blazer. I love the whole outfit

I love your lipstick, and the look is so cute!
