Shorts, Tees, and Blazers


Blazer: Zara (Similar), T-Shirt: JCrew, Shorts: Rachel Roy (Similar - LO, MID, HI), Shoes: Christian Louboutin, Clutch: Zara, Brooch & Earrings: Vintage, Watch: Rolex










Hey Loves,
I wore this outfit to grab a quick bite with an old friend over the weekend. Unfortunately, she called just before I settled in to catch the first episode of ‘Breaking Bad’ and right after I slipped into my comfy J Crew t-shirt. Since I didn’t have much time or energy to get fully dressed, I decided to leave my comfy tee on. I just added my Rachel Roy leather shorts and Zara jacquard blazer to avoid that “I just rolled out of bed” look.

I also added a couple of vintage brooches and my favorite pair of vintage earrings. For me, vintage jewelry can be a cheap way to add unique jeweled pieces to a collection. I purchased both brooches and the earrings for about $5 total. My advice would be to scour your local thrift and vintage stores for some one of a kind finds. Also, I always coat my vintage pieces with clear nail polish. This stops the jewelry from tarnishing and pretty much guarantees that you’ll be rocking your vintage pieces for years to come.

Love,
Jillian
