I very much enjoyed wearing the fushcia blazer and white jeans. I used so many YLFers inspirations here. DayVies for the white jeans paired with tall boots, Caro's link love post for how to get my bootcuts to fit in there, Suz's quest for a fushcia blazer to consider buying one, Angie's club monaco toppers post and recent pin of a white overcoat with these same type of buttons to decide to get this particular jacket, and MaryK and Modgrl's gingham shirts to consider adding one to my own closet. In all ways I consider this a YLF collaboration and am very happy wearing it! Which is a good thing because after taking the kids to the dentist today I've discovered that most of my shopping budget for the next few months will instead be going toward dental treatment expenses.... blah!

Now for the miss.... I feel like the pieces here should work but they just really dont for me. I tried a skinny belt instead of a fat one and dont really care for how it looks. The T seems too plain, I think i prefer buttondowns or (if I had one) a graphic T under my blazers. I do like the gray-brown jacket and similar to my Navy one have decided to casualize it and not save it for specific occasions any longer. Styling ideas and suggestion always welcome and appreciated!
