Sometimes all it takes are a few new pieces to revive your wardrobe & make you look at it in a whole new way. Case in point, this little cropped jacket & these ridiculously comfortable perforated flats. I loved that the patterns slightly echoed each other, but not in a way that was too obvious. I couldn’t resist throwing in stripes + peplum (two of my weaknesses), plus a pop of color. And since there are a lot of layers & prints going on here, I kept my jewelry dainty and simple.
What I’m wearing:
H&M blouse (similar), J.

it's impressive that you're able to layer and still keep the silhouette so slim!
I love the little peplum top under the jacket! I'm also loving the simple shoes.
