wind like woah

DSC01720
You guys. It was so windy this morning. I had no idea what to do with myself...or my hair which was all over the place. That's what I get for even attempting to do anything with it - a face full of wind. I was doing all these unnatural (more unnatural than standing in front of a camera taking pictures of yourself already is) poses and nothing worked. So this is what you get today. At least I tried...

Blazer: H&M  {similar}
Chambray: Old Navy  {exact}
Jeans: Urban Outfitters  {exact}
Belt: Gap  {save / splurge}
Shoes: Tory Burch  {exact}
Watch: Target  {similar}
Ring: Stolen from my sister Karoline


















I'm in love with this belt. I bought it when Whitney and I went shopping and got it for a song. Since I now realize what I was missing out on with mustard colored items (hey, only like 4 years behind), I am trying to play catch up.

  2. I really like this tailored look and the fun pop of yellow with the belt. I hate it when the wind doesn't cooperate, I always hope for a cool wind brown look, but I somehow just look like I haven't brushed my hair in a week....

  3. I really like the combination of a solid pop of colour with the dress shirt and a patterned blazer. I'm going to have to try this when I find the perfect blazer!

    p.s. your hair looks awesome, with or without wind!

  4. Love that blazer! I could sure use a mustard belt. Goodness knows I adore my mustard cardigan. :)

  5. Your hair looks nice all windswept - I wouldn't even have thought it was improperly situated due to the wind!

    This outfit is classy. I really like it and would like to duplicate it even though classy is not my style.

  21. I'm seriously the worst commenter in the history of blogging (at least for the past 3 months). I've gotten lazy about getting on my computer and have resorted to just checking blogs on my phone... however, it is irritating to comment using my phone. Anyhow -- I really like this combination of the pink/reddish, yellow and patterned blazer. This is a combination I had not thought of before!

  23. I hate the wind so much. Every other weather thing you can do something about, but not the wind.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Regardless of the wind you managed to look so put together! I love this outfit! But truthfully that's not surprising since I love everything you put together.

  25. So what if my blazer collection is hovering somewhere between 30 and 40? I need to add this one to my collection. I love this color combination. A lot.
