As I mentioned before, a couple of years ago I completely
changed my perspective on fashion. I started making more conscious decisions
instead of impulse-buying, I started viewing my wardrobe as a functional system
rather than a collection of garments, and I decided that I need to build the
contents of my closet carefully to make sure that it reflects my personality
and style. My morning frustrations became my best advisors, and the driving
force behind the first purchases I made right after.
One of the first pieces I realized I really needed was a neutral
blazer. My wardrobe was way too casual for the office environment I was hired
to work in, and most of my winter clothes were painfully boring. A blazer was
the perfect solution, as it elevated my outfits to business casual, and it
allowed me to wear my cute summer tops in the winter. But the first one I purchased
was a hit and miss. It was a gorgeous boyfriend style ponte knit blazer with
striped cuffs that made me look like a million bucks, but that lost its shape
after the first wash. My second purchase was this Forever 21 jacket that has
been my go-to piece since. It always saves me when I am unsure about what to
wear in the morning, whether I want to put together a simple outfit or I need to
tone down a pattern or bright color. The size allows me to wear it over tank
tops and fine sweaters alike, the fabric doesn’t attract lint, it barely wrinkles,
and the buttoned cuffs and striped lining allows me to cuff it every time I
want. What more can a gal want?
Today I decided to wear my new Old Navy pants that I just
scored for $7.99 (I know, right!?!?). I wanted to go simple this time to allow
the print to shine, so I picked basic black and white garments for the rest of
the look. What do you think?
Have a great evening, everyone!
