Blazer, Tweed, and Chiffon Blouse







Last night, I wore this outfit during a casual dinner and library date with my boyfriend, J.  What's special to me about this outfit is where everything came from.  I acquired various pieces of this outfit during several different trips - this pleated, boucle Topshop skirt from my recent trip to London, the ring and chiffon blouse with studded collar from a business trip to Germany, and my shoes from a trip to Taiwan with Mom a few years back.  I also got my beloved Michael Kors 'Karolina' sunglasses during a trip to New York last year.  Wearing this globally acquired outfit makes me happy because it brings back wonderful memories from each trip!

I've layered a black blazer with white trim over the chiffon blouse and added a braided silver bib necklace to further play up the stud details on the collar.  I can never resist adding a pop of color, so I'm also carrying my teal envelope clutch.

*****
What I'm Wearing / Where to Shop:

Topshop Skirt from London
Chiffon Blouse by Only from Germany (similar here)
H&M Blazer (similar here)
BCBGeneration Clutch (another gorgeous pick by Tory burch)
Forever 21 Bib Necklace (another great option
Gina Tricot Ring from Germany
Fashion & Vogue Pumps from Taiwan (another white pump I'm craving with a cap toe)

  21. Hey doll its Poppie from IFB! What a proper and lovely look for a dinner party! You look very chic and elegant. I love how you let your legs show and covered everything else up. Most girls today let too much show and it looks tacky but you my dear look very elegant. You've gained a new follower doll.
