Fashion

Classic + Modern

 
 

One of my personal rules for trying out new trends is to mix them with classic pieces – because it creates a more effortless look & is a great way to ensure you don’t go overboard.  This combination of a varsity-style jacket with basics like a crisp white shirt, denim & ladylike pumps is the perfect blend of modern & timeless (just swap out the heels for sneakers or brogues and you are weekend-ready!).

 

What I’m wearing:
Old Navy shirt (here), Forever 21 jacket (here), Levi’s jeans (on sale here), Charles Jourdan pumps (on sale here; few sizes left on clearance here), ASOS clutch (here), c/o T&J Designs cuff (similar here or here), Lips: L’Oreal Colour Riche Fairest Nude

If you haven’t already, I would love to have your vote in the Olivia + Joy Blogger Styling Challenge – all you have to do is “like” my photo here. Thanks so much!!

    Great mix of neutrals and basics. I've been looking for a nude lip color and I'm loving that shade on you!

    Love the tone combination in your jacket. You paired it off beautifully. Hope you had a great weekend playing in the snow or watching the kids play in the snow.

    OMGoodness your eyes look so intense in these pictures! Can't tell if it is the lighting, the makeup, contact lenses, but I had to look back at some of your earlier posts to see if that was your actual eye color. Seriously your pose is mesmerizing. Fantastic1

    @SciNerdGirl, thank you! Yes, that is my real eye color. I think it had a lot to do with the lighting of where we shot and I did have slightly different eye makeup on that may have played into it a bit too 🙂

    xo,

    that bomber jacket is so great! Love how you went the chic route instead of going totally casual. Great balance. {and nice work to the hubs for such insane beautiful photos; lucky he has an amazing subject!).

    Love the bomber jacket. It doesnät get more classic than that. Very nice outfit. Thanks for posting the photos and feel free to drop by me too when you have time.

    I'm new to your blog and I love this look and your style! It's very rare to find a fashion blog that features clothes that a girl with a teenager budget (aka me) can afford. Keep it up because your blog is awesome. Sending love from Texas!

    HUGE fan of the varsity-style jacket. You probably already know this, but cj.com and F21 aren't friends right now, so the link dead ends. And I can't find the jacket 🙁

    Oh, and you totally got my vote, or should I say Like, for the Olivia + Joy contest.
