Here is my version of the following trend for fall fashion:
lines / square prints / bold blocking / diamonds / clean angles / modern / grids / cubes / black and white / black and gray / color blocking /
{Navy Trousers ~ NY & Co / Orange Stretch Tank ~ Merona via Target / Navy and Khaki Striped Blazer ~ Thrifted / Taupe Leather Sandals ~ MRKT / Gold Lions head Necklace ~ Vintage.Thrifted / Gold and Amber Necklace ~ Alfani via Macy's / Cognac Leather Bucket Handbag ~ Rachel Zoe}
So, of course, my interpretation of this trend had to involve stripes of some sort. Can you say OBSESSED? I have more stripes in my closet than I care to admit and this blazer is my favorite striped piece! It is so uniquely different; retro but modern at the same time. The sweet buttons on the sleeve seriously make me smile every time I look down! :)
I also decided to play up color blocking a bit by adding this bright orange tank against the deep navy trousers.
One of the main reasons I wanted to start this mini-series was to show how these trends can be worn in everyday life. I like to keep it simple, yet pulled together in the office so I didn't even want to try and go too high-fashion'esque. And that's my spin - not thinking too much about it or trying too hard. :)
I will also be trying black / white color blocking soon. I love how simple, modern and fab it looks.
So tell me, how will you be trying this trend?
xoxo, thanks for reading!

I love this! The orange and navy look great together. I love stripes too...I had them on yesterday and again today, lol. I like how you took a runway idea and made it "real" for us regular gals =)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE that blazer. I knew when I saw it that it was thrifted automatically. I wish they made classic pieces like that nowadays, but they are hard to find.

ReplyDeleteMy question/request is if you can write a blog post on how to buy or find the perfect blazer. I purchased on from Forever 21 last year and I bought it a size bigger. I have no idea why. Please help, I love your sense of fashion!
ReplyDeleteso Ive been meaning to send you this pic for months now, but you know how it is, something ALWAYS seems to come up lol anywho, i went thrifting a while back & look what i found!! (*o*) can you say "sister blazer"?? same company & everything. now normally, i would pass on a blazer of this kind is stick with sollids, but because i ive seen just how well youve worn it, i just HAD to get it...that & it was $1.25 POOOWW!!!
ReplyDeleteOMGness!!! yessss Allysun! That is the same blazer! It's one my faves too! Sister Blazer ~ I love it! :)
ReplyDeletethanks Erika! I surely will! Though my main tip will be ~ try it on and even if it doesn't button, if it's cute, get it! LOL. And nothing wrong with sizing up sometimes, the "boyfriend" look can be cute too.
ReplyDeletethank you Toya! :) Can't wait to see how you rock the black and white color blocking!
