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!!

    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

  15. PennyPincherFashion says

    February 11, 2013 at 1:30 pm

    @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 jacket is great! Varsity jackets are usually too chunky and round, but the cut on this one is perfect. I can't believe it came from Forever21!
    Your hair and make-up is lovely as well!

    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.
