Thursday: Stripe and Dot
I swore I wouldn't buy anything I didn't need, and I guess I don't actually NEED this jacket… but when I saw this jacket I did fall pretty hard. Dresses up and down well, the fabric makes it work year-round, I am on a mega navy kick, and it's striped! It's actually a very nice jacket – good details like the zippered cuffs don't unzip and have fabric behind them, hematite-colored zippers so you can wear with gold and silver jewelry, fully lined, and a good fit (I am wearing a 12 regular and it zips comfortably even over my bust). I know, I'm wearing gifted Gap jeans but that has nothing to do with this endorsement of the jacket, which I paid full price for (okay, I got 10% off since it was Tuesday and had a $10 rewards for being a Banana Republic cardholder). It's just pretty fab!
What a fun outfit. Great inspiration.
That jacket is a great buy if you ask me! It is so versatile and your overall outfit is fun yet chic especially with the pop of red lipstick! xx
Love the mix of prints, looks great on you!

I love the navy – it’s one of my favorite colors to wear. I also like how you’ve done that pattern mixing. I rarely pattern mix myself, because I feel there is a fine line between it looking really cool and different, and it looking like you just picked random things in your closet and threw them on. The navy/white color palette certainly helps ๐

This mixed print look works because you kept everything in the same color family. Now if someone could just send out a text to women and magazine stylists around the world…
LOL
I love the jacket but the jeans are what I covet! Current Gap?
Yes! They are the Always Skinny Skimmer Jeans, new on the site. Stay tuned I’ll have a post just about them and showing how versatile and fun they are. Ankle length but not cheesy. Pleasantly surprised by them!
Love the jeans and the scarf. I like the mix of the pole dot sizes.
I think you nailed mixing stripes and dots! You look gorgeous.
I love the combo of the stripes and dots and the jacket is just darling.
It *is* fab – classic with a twist. And you look so pretty in it!
I love — no, I covet — the jacket. I hope it shows up over here!
