Off Duty: Striped Blouse and Impractical Pants



Blouse: J. Crew (Similar)
Pants: Zara (Similar)
Shoes: Christian Louboutin
Bag: Zara
Necklace: Betsey Johnson














Amidst all the rain last week came a tiny bit of cooler weather. So, like any self-respecting Miamian, I took the opportunity to throw on something completely impractical.  I scored these pleather pants for $10 during a sale at Zara's. Though I wasn't quite sure where/if I would wear them, they were too cheap to pass up. Turns out, I only got to wear them for a couple of hours, but it was fun while it lasted! Who says you have to be practical with your wardrobe.

Have you guys added any impractical pieces to your wardrobe?

xoxo,
Jillian

  1. <3 your top!

    Speaking of impractical, I just received this sequined blazer this morning. I don't have much to wear with it but that's okay. It's a big statement piece and I'm sure people are going to be thinking,"WTF?" when they see it but oh well. I love it! Here is something similar:http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-LAURENCE-KAZAR-SILK-SEQUINS-BEADED-MULTICOLOR-BLAZER-CARDIGAN-JACKET-M-/130686063152?pt=US_CSA_WC_Outerwear&hash=item1e6d7f1230

  3. Impractical for me is wearing heels to my engineering job. I love heels but they only go from home to car to my cubicle/office. Then they are exchanged for safety shoes.
