Vintage Dress and Aviators, Zara Blazer, Forever 21 Belt, Alberta Ferretti Sandals

When I first saw this studded blazer in the window display at Zara, I was convinced that they would all be sold out. Somehow I managed to score what could be the most perfect boyfriend blazer with detailing along the lapels that is surprisingly feminine. Although it was the first hot summer night in L.A., I still needed a light cover-up once the sun went down and it paired nicely with this lacy dress.

ok, I completely love this look and wish I had it in my closet right now! it would be so great for going out or for the wedding I have to go to next month! eek, I want to buy a new dress but I’m not sure what to get… and, as my mom kindly informed me, I already have a bunch of dresses I could wear. what is it with weddings I always feel the need to buy a new dress!?!
either way, I always appreciate your inspiration.

GORGEOUS! i love the girly/dressy feel of the whole outfit. sometimes blazer’s can look too harsh, but this one is perfect for anything! great find.

Ohh I so regret not buying that blazer. Zara is awesome and I love the way you styled it with a lace dress. Very interesting.

That blazer is one of my favorite pieces this season. You are right – it is just feminine enough to work with that lace dress. Congrats on a great find!

Dear Emily, it’s a lovely dress. What does it mean “Vintage dress”? Is Vintage the name of the brand? I discovered your blog thanks to an interview at El Comercio online (www.elcomercio.pe).
