Black & Blue



Ever since I put together this monochromatic outfit, I have been experimenting with more matchy-matchy looks and I’ve decided I really love the sophisticated vibe of a same-color blazer & trouser.  This time, I added a faux fur vest for an extra layer of warmth and to keep the suit-like separates from feeling too stuffy…plus I’m obsessed with the cobalt + black combination.



What I’m wearing:
J. Crew blouse (on sale here), c/o The Impeccable Pig blazer (here), M.S.S.P. vest (via eBay; similar), LOFT trousers (similar), JW Anderson for ALDO pumps (on sale here), ALDO clutch (on sale here), Bracelets: Vintage & J. Crew Factory (on sale here), Target earrings (similar), Ray-Ban wayfarers (similar), Nails: Deborah Lippmann Don’t Tell Mama, Lips: L’Oreal Colour Riche Blushing Berry

    Love black and blue together. And I love how you layered the fur vest over your blazer. Gives such a beautiful texture to your outfit.

    I love it, but what occasion is it for, exactly? Haha. Maybe we shouldn't worry about those details…

    Amazing that the pants and blazer from two companies pair that perfectly, and love how you added the vest. Something a florida girl would never think about. 🙂

    I never would have thought to layer a vest over a blazer! I love vests though and am still on the hunt for a thrifted one. We are on the same page about "penny pinching". Nearly all my wardrobe is thrifted-a hubby in grad school working part-time and two little ones do that to your budget when you are STAHM!
