A gem before the heat.

July 1, 2010







{Blazer~ Oleg Cassini, Sateen skinny pants ~ Elle, Top ~ Torrid, Vintage gold stretch belt, Wedges ~ UrbanOG, Handbag ~ Cole Haan}

This fabulous vintage blazer gives me instant attitude. It has to be the puffy shoulders. I found this Oleg Cassini (also the designer of my wedding gown!!!) gem while thrifting in the spring. I just had to get it.

Keeping it real, it is too small (as size 10!) and is pretty ill-fitting… but that did NOT stop me from getting it or wearing it today. :) Not to mention, I absolutely love the color! The temperature has cooled down a bit over the last few days, presenting me with the perfect opportunity to pop this on. I chose gold accessories and kept it simple. The top I have on with it is coming across way sheerer than it is in person, making me a little aggravated, lol.

The temps will be soaring back up into the 90’s this weekend … I have my t-shirts and shorts ready to go.

  7. Thanks everyone!!! :) I adore this blazer. I suspect I will get a lot of use out of it. ;)

    And for the Anonymous loser who commented on how small the blazer was... and asked if I was blind... YEAH I am.. blind to haters and miserable punks who post anonymous comments on blogs. Use your name and get a life you F'N loser.

    Sorry to my regular beautiful readers. I had to get that out for "Anonymous" to see... because I know SHE will be back to check on my comments/posts. :)

  8. ANON is clearly jealous! You look fabulous Lexy. I love the pop of color that the blazer adds! I disabled anon comments on my blog because even though I don't mind people being honest, at least don't be a pussy and hide behind the "anonymous" tag! xo
