Outfit Inspiration | May 14, 2014

Balancing Act

If you’ve been following the blog for some time, then you know that this outfit is totally my style, except for one thing…. can you guess?  Yup, it’s the heels.  Although I absolutely love these heels  (they are actually pretty comfortable as far as heels go), I’d much rather be in flats or kitten heels.

But, that’s why I love this outfit. The base is a basic outfit with hints of dressy added on top.  The jeans and tee can totally be worn with cute, flat sandals for lunch with friends, but here I added a blazer, heels and jewels for a dressier look for my conference.  It’s so versatile, which make this is a perfect outfit for a trip!

I also love to playing with different styles in one outfit.  In this outfit, the blazer and heels make it sophisticated and the hole-y jeans add a little edge.  In another case, these hole-y jeans would look darling with a pink checked polo and white tennis, combining preppy with edgy!  I’m constantly trying to combine and balance styles in outfits, and I really like how this one turned out!

    I smiled when I saw your heels. I know you almost never wear them, but I like how they dress up this outfit!

    Love your blog and your outfits are great. One thing I don’t get is the ripped jeans…..what do people find attractive about these? They have holes in them with all the threads hanging down. I guess it’s just me because I see them all the time and I know they are not cheap!! Have a great day!!

      Yes, I know how you feel. I think I said at one point that I would never buy hole-y jeans -ha! When my clients ask me about the hole-y jeans I say, they may or may not be your style, either way it’s your style, and whatever you choose is grrreat!
