Cupcakes and Cashmere

Petaled Pink

April 18th, 2011

H&M Blazer, Planet Blue Top, Vince Shorts, Philosophy Platforms, Mulberry Bag

I found this cream-colored blazer a couple of weeks back and completely underestimated its versatility. It’s so sheer that I usually forget it’s on, which is perfect for the hot, yet slightly fickle, L.A. weather. We got to the beach yesterday and within a matter of minutes, the sky had gone from a brilliant blue to a hazed over fog. I was the only one with any semblance of an additional layer, but it still wasn’t enough to fulfill our intentions of eating ice cream by the pier (we opted for coffee in the car instead).

    H&M always has adorable jackets and blazers! I have a black one with a draped collar that I wear way too much! It is very lightweight like the one that you have here

    After I saw this post, I literally ran out to my nearest H&M store and bought this blazer. I’ve been looking for a nude colored girly blazer like this for a long time, so I’m glad you brought it to my attention! You look fabulous, by the way!

    So cute, those colors are amazing on you! And it’s so true, I almost always have some kind of thin cardigan or giant wrap/scarf with me because you never know with SoCal weather – plus, half the places you go in have their a/c blasting! :)

    Like you, I love scalloped edges (particularly those you have featured in the past!). This is a gorgeous piece that is a great coverup to protect that peaches and cream complexion of yours!
