After reading Kelly’s post about pairing a striped shirt with a blazer, rather than buying a striped blazer, I decided I simply must try this look out as well. My cropped blazer hadn’t seen much love for the past couple months so I thought I better pull her out so she wouldn’t think I’d been cheating on her with my boyfriend blazer. (I kind of have, but shhh, don’t tell.) How else would I pair this little cropped blazer than with my little cropped trousers? I can’t believe this never occurred to me before I meandered into my closet and let the outfit materialize virtually on it’s own. This whole get-up was effortless. From the wavy hair, to the ballet flats. Put together and comfortable at the same time. Proving once again that you don’t have to have “Pink” written across your velour covered behind to feel at home in your clothes.
And while we’re on the subject let me just rant for a second. Moms, please stop running errands in the middle of the day in your sweatsuits/workout clothes. Seriously, there is like an epidemic going on out there. I must have seen 20 different women in Target today and maybe 3 of them were actually dressed with their hair fixed. I do not understand this. Why do women do this? Why do they stop trying when they get married? Don’t they still want their husband to think they are hot? I do. And let me tell you, I’d be mortified if he came home in the middle of the day and I was still in my jamies. To say nothing about going out in public like that.
Love this post! I’ve been following you the past few weeks and you are adorable. Thanks for the enlightenment of your fashion sense and your witty posts. I also agree on the subject of pajamas in mid-day. Just plain ludricrous!
You are legit. Too legit. 2 legit 2 quit. I’m not a mom, and I work a 9-5, but I know that on those days that just bum around and don’t get dressed up, I feel gross and not as good about myself. Dressing nicely, for me, isn’t about how I look, but how I feel. Ok, how I look is part of it.

Glad my little anti-striped blazer post inspired a new outfit! And I absolutely LOVE that Chanel quote!
I could not agree with you more! We have been sick for a few weeks and there has been a lot of sweatpant action goin’ on around here. I feel so much better when I am dressed and ready to go!
Love your blog! I appreciate you showing more affordable options.
Amen to the anti-sweats in public movement! It takes 5 seconds to throw some pants on? I refuse to walk outside without an outfit on & at least minimal makeup.
At home however… I work at home starting at 5:30am; ain’t no way I’m getting dressed that early. No matter how much I love my hubby. :)
Yeah, I usually make a effort to look nice everyday. I’m only married so I don’t think it’s hard right now, but I’ll get back to you once I have children.
