Making Jenna Lyons Proud

Blazer // Similar Skirts: (1), (2) // Similar Tops: (1), (2), // Heels (my favorite work heels! For my full review of work day heels see here) 

Jenna Lyons is probably my biggest fashion idol. She is the president & creative director for J Crew, and a major risk-taker in the world of fashion. When I bought this JCrew flamingo blazer, I knew I wanted to be really bold with my style choices and 'make Jenna proud'. 

I decided to do some print mixing and wear the pink blazer with both leopard print and stripes for a bold work outfit. If you are shy about print mixing, don't be! If you missed my tips on print mixing, check them out here. Leopard & stripes are a classic print mix combo, and adding in any bright color with them (like hot pink) works perfectly. 

I also plan on styling this pink blazer in a more subdued work outfit later in the fall, so be sure to stay tuned on the blog for that!

Wednesday Wants: Stylish Blazers

Burnt Orange Blazer with Pink Trim  // Pink Blazer // Grey Blazer // Charcoal Blazer

Tuxedo Trim Blazer // Light Plaid Blazer // Olive Blazer // Royal Blue Collarless Blazer

As a primarily courtroom lawyer, I spend 95% of my time in blazers. If you too have to wear a blazer some or all of the time at work, you know the importance of finding one that is good quality, well-fitted, and stylish! It can be a daunting task (especially as a female!).

Luckily, this fall there are so many bold blazers that make a fashion statement while still ensuring you look polished and professional. The above ones are my favorites (... so far haha) I think I am going to invest in the pink one. Clearly, it can't be worn every day, but what beautiful statement piece! I love it with stripes (as they've shown), but it would also look gorgeous with pale grey, black or even leopard print for a bold choice.

How many of you wear blazers to work regularly? Should I style more of them here on LLB? I would love to know your thoughts! 

On another note, I am still on vacation and having so much fun with all my nieces and nephews. Be sure to follow along on instagram & twitter to stay up to date on my adventures. And for all you working moms out there - YOU ARE ALL SUPERHUMAN. I am SO impressed and have a renewed respect for all you manage to do. #TiredAuntLee

Summer White

White Pants // Loose Blazer // Tank Top // Heels // Similar Handbags (1), (2), (3) // Necklace // Sprinkles Bracelet c/o

I know I *just* styled these pants here on LLB - but I seriously cannot get enough of them! This summer I wanted to challenge myself to be more creative with my office wear; and trying out white pants was a huge leap for me.

Pairing white pants with a pale pink blazer was a no-brainer for me. Pink & white is one of my favorite summer color combinations. This black tassel handbag has also become a go-to for me. I picked it up for $20 on a whim while in Curacao (read all about my trip here if you missed it!) I, therefore, linked up a bunch of similar handbags for you guys to check out.

Have a great weekend everyone! See you back here on Monday.
