WIW to dinner

Krista

Veteran

Good evening, DH and I decided to go out for dinner tonight. It's starting to feel like Spring so I thought I'd test some of my new Spring purchases. The top and blazer are new - and actually, the blazer is a new fashion adventure for me as I believed for a long time I couldn't "do" blazers. My handbag is also new - Nine West bag snagged at The Bay for something like 80% off. It's totally matchy-matchy! Just what I like! Feedback and comments welcome! Thanking you in advance. Blazer, top, pants: Cleo Petites Bag: Nine West Boots: Franco Sarto Statement ring: Forever 21

Gorgeous! I am in love with the bag. The crispness of the black and white, and the way it echoes your outfit. So glad you gave blazers a second try. They look great on you!

Aren't blazers wonderful? Yours looks great. I love the way the handbag ties it all together. YLF.

I would love to have a black and white bag. Yours is great! I really like the texture the top adds. Such a nice outfit!

You look great - love the bag.
I always sigh a happy sigh when someone converts to blazers:)

You are now in a beautiful relationship with blazers! Love this silhouette -- the drapey detail of the top, the soft structure of the blazer -- the black bookending.

Oh yes, AND the bag, which is marvelous!

Great dinner look!

Perfect, love your new bag, and a blazer is always nicer than a cardi:-)

Thanks for the blazer love, everyone. Caro, I think I heard your happy sigh here in Canada

The blazer is in a ponte knit and I think that's why I like it and feel like I can wear it. Sometimes I feel like blazers are too structured and create too much of a shoulder line, but this one doesn't do that. So, I'm glad that I have found this blazer because I think it does do more to an outfit than a cardi does!

Also, the bag! Hello! Thanks for the love on that, too. You'll be seeing more of that baby, for sure!

The blazer just looks fabulous on you, perfect for an evening out. Loving the high contrast black and white look for spring too!

I love this too; the top is adorable. I have become a recent convert to ponte blazers too - comfort of a sweater, polish of a jacket, they're great.

Another bag fan here! And the blazer.

I love the idea of the ponte blazer but so far none of the versions I have tried on have been keepers. Hopefully I'll be able to find one eventually!

You can totally do blazers, girl! Love, love, love this look on you. The bag and top are taking my breath away.

You look amazing, and YES, you can do blazers! You just had to find the right kind for you. I'm loving the soft unstructured lines of this one your your frame. Love the color blocked bag (and your color blocked hair! *swoon*) too!

Krista you look stunning. Simple, modern and elegant IMHO. Love that bag! Hope you had a nice night.
