Completely Gratuitous Outfit Post

Driving home on Friday via my normal route from & to the gallery, I pulled over in Beverly Hills residential to snap my outfit shots but as per usual lately, they came out blurry {my camera's in the shop} ...I had to post these two above though for the house in the background and to differentiate my neighborhood {below} where houses range from $500K-2 million to that of Beverly Hills neighborhoods {exactly 8 miles away} where houses begin at 2 million.

I've had this oversized white blazer for a while now but every time I put it on I feel like I'm wearing a Doctor's coat. When I paired it with the tribal print dress and belted it, pulling the excess material to the back, it finally worked and gave a sweet & girly look as in the shots above in Beverly Hills {how I wore it to work}.

However, once I was home uploading the shots which again came out blurry, I quickly put the outfit back on and realized I could wear the blazer unbelted and not have the doctor look if I flipped the lapels in towards me. It had a bit of an 80's feel but I liked the look. And with the pony tail {and possibly my mood for having to re-do my shots} the outfit came off as much less sweet. Isn't that interesting? The same outfit but accessorized differently, with different hair can really change the entire look of it.

What I'm Wearing
* Forever 21 tribal print dress ...have had this for a couple years now ...still one of my faves. Seen here last winter with leggings, turtleneck & coat ...and here late last summer with same shoes

I agree - the blazer looks great either way. And still kicking myself that I didn't snap up a pair of those shoes ... so gorgeous.

duckalicious said...

great outfit! I don't like the bag though, an oversized clutch (I'm thinking red, mint or nude) would be a much better option IMO!
