Hey Lovelies,

Life has been amazingly hectic recently. Between graduations, birthdays, anniversaries, trip planning, and work, I barely have time to breath. In times like these, I look to some tried and true outfit combos to pull myself together in a snap.

One of my favorite combinations is a blazer and jeans. A simple pair of jeans and a not so simple blazer equals an outfit that is interesting and super easy to pull together. I also added my sleeveless trench for an additional layer. I seriously cannot believe how much I've used this trench. It goes with everything and was only $20! What are some of your favorite quick outfit combos?

BTW: A big congrats to all of you graduating this spring! I wish you lots of luck and success! Thank you all for reading and giving me something to look forward to during these long days!

BTW #2: Did you spot my amazing photographer/hubby in the first pic? LOL -the things we do for love :)

xoxo
Jillian

  1. Another great look Jillian! I bought a sleeveless trench months ago from Old Navy but is too big and I decided to keep it (because they didn't have my size) and have it altered but have yet to do it. The way you have been rocking yours is putting some fire under my butt to get it done now. Inspired!

    1. Alter it ASAP Missy! I really didn't know what I would wear mines with when I first purchased it. But, now I reach for it every chance I get. :) Can't wait to see how you style it on your blog.

  5. Hey Jill,
    Do You Experiment With Nail Polish, No Essie/OPI Craze ?!

    1. Thanks Angie! I looove nail polish. But, the truth is, I never set aside the time to get my nails done. Plus, they always turn out a hot mess when I try to do them myself. I'm a big ESSIE fan though - swear the stuff lasts forever.

    1. I adore this blazer. I'm trying to decide whether or not I will try to remix it into a work outfit.

    2. I definitely think you could remix it for work with a pencil skirt and nice blouse. I'm pretty sure you already have that in your closet on tap already :) By the way I love your style it is so very similiar mine. After seeing you in the sleeveless blazer, I went out and purchased it from Forever 21. There are so many options that go with it.
