The Blush Gray Lady

[Blush & Gray Jacket: Forever 21 (similar); Blouse: Forever 21 (similar); Gray cords: J.Crew Factory (old); Shoes: Old Navy; Earrings: Old Navy]

This blazer looked odd but awesome on the rack at Forever 21, and I'm so glad I bought it. The menswearish shape, muted palette, and different colored sleeves set it apart from the other more tailored, bright blazers I've been gravitating towards.

This outfit is another in a string of style blogger inspiration I told you about last week. I had been pairing this jacket with grey T's and jeans and had been wearing the blush print blouse separately, and then I saw this post in eat.sleep.wear. The color tones are bit different, but the shape of Kimberley's blazer is similar and inspired me to pair my blush pieces together and pull out the grey cords that have been sitting in my closet, mostly untouched this season!  Oh, and these flats were such a fun last minute buy at Old Navy and added my twist on the outfit, with a pop of my absolute favorite color.

Side note: today's blog post title is a play on the New York Times' nickname, The Great Gray Lady. That's what you get from journalism dork like me.

    1. Thanks girl! I tried to find the link for them but they don't seem to be up online. The Old Navy at the Galleria mall had lots of great jewelry this week though!
