Spring has finally sprung in these parts! At least slightly. I'm pretty sure we're out of the woods with the daily average temps of 30 degrees, anyway. This feels like it's been the longest winter ever, doesn't it? Anyway. Today I wanted to dress for spring, so I brought out my new pink blazer to try out and paired it with a scarf that looks kinda floral-y from far away but is actually just a bunch of splotches of colors. Fancy, huh?
I've wanted a pink blazer for a long time, but I always go for really structured blazers. It's hard to find a good, structured blazer under $80-90 to begin with, but in pink? Not likely to happen. I finally settled on this more casual, sweater-type-material blazer from H&M. Mostly because it was marked down to $20. But I left the tag on all the way until I left the house this morning (or maybe it's still on there, and I'm lying to you all, and I have a phobia of removing tags off of clothing until I post them on the blog and get your approval... GUESS YOU'LL NEVER KNOW!). But! I believe we have ourselves a winner.
I also haven't ever really gotten into pattern mixing a ton. I'm not opposed to it, probably moreso afraid of it than anything else. And here is my baby step in that direction, I suppose. Does it count? Yes? Maybe? Neat.
I think that counts as pattern mixing! :) Love the bright colors!

This is a great spring outfit, and I really really love your pattern mixing! Gorgeous scarf, pants, and sandals. It's so nice to have some warmth!
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit! I really like the bright colors of the scarf and blazer, and from the photos I wouldn't have known that it wasn't a more structured blazer. Your outfit definitely counts as pattern mixing. I love wearing a striped top with a fun patterned scarf.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely counts! It's fun seeing the 'splotches' with the stripes and your blazer choice is perfect! I kinda like the sweater, relaxed blazers better than some of the structured ones out there. Spring has sprung here too! FINALLY!!
ReplyDeleteI love this!!! So pretty and definitely inspiration :) hey, I'm hanging issues with my canon rebel taking blurry pictures on te timed setting all of a sudden? I know your a photo aficionado? Any idea what I'm doing wrong????

you may not have intended for me to sing this title like call me maybe, but, oh, i did.
ReplyDeletei might have to make a trip to H&M to see if i can find this blazer. i played the "what you would like me to wear more?" game with dago today and he said blazers. and this one is pink and soft, so i need it. defo a win.
also, i tried on a pair of really high wedges today at target that i've been lusting after and promptly fell. then i raised my fist and yelled "HOW DOES LYNETTE WEAR THESE THINGS!?" yeah. i don't even know.

Love that pink blazer girl! You rockin it!
ReplyDeleteLove this bright blazer with the matching scarf!
ReplyDeleteGreat blazer -- you should definitely rip the tags! Loved that you styled it with some of my favorite spring pieces -- stripes and florals. Looks great!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the outfit. I find myself practically begging for spring here in Mich :)
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting the perfect pink blazer too! This is the second time I've seen this gorgeous H&M one... time to run to the Mall of America and find it!
ReplyDeleteI love your outfit, Lynette!! You know exactly how to look sophisticated and fun at the same time...and on a budget! Your blazer looks super structured, but probably feels incredibly comfortable. Girl, I hear you on the pattern mixing. I'm not a fan of extreme pattern mixing, but what you've done is just perfect. Baby steps, indeed!!

I love this outfit on you. Maybe I take clothes for a test spin before removing tags... but maybe I don't. I'm totally with you on not spending $$$ for something like a fun blazer. I just wish I had an H&M nearby so I could take advantage of the amazing deals. Or I'll just make friends with someone who does and get them to send me stuff. Maybe not.
ReplyDeleteYes ma'am--very springy! I love it! I'm 99.9999% sure you're going to be seeing an outfit just like this soon--it's been hanging in my closet just WAITING for spring to get here. :)

I love the bright pink blazer! I actually tried one on (maybe the same one!) at H&M this weekend, but ended up getting the black one instead. Now I am wondering if I made the wrong choice!
ReplyDeleteThat blazer is so pretty. I love the bright color. I really like the scarf you paired with it! Pinning this for inspiration!!

Both you and your blog are so cute! I love the pink blazer - it's been on my wishlist for spring, too, and I think I was actually looking at this exact one (my co-worker has it in black and I loved the casual vibe it had) but went I went to get it, it was gone in my size! Such a bummer! It's adorable, and I love the stripes & printed scarf with it! Following you now! :)
ReplyDeletegirl these pictures are so cute! the bokeh, the hair, the colors, the body.
ReplyDeletealso, don't tell anyone, but i almost always wear something once with the tags still in. I KNOW. it's bad, but I don't want to forever (ok, a few years) own something if I don't actually like it after a day, ya know? don't judge.
Yay for Spring! Hope it officially warms up there! This is such a cute look girl! I love the pink blazer with the striped top, black skinny jeans, and printed scarf! You look beautiful:)!
ReplyDeleteDying over that scarf!! So pretty. I leave tags on all the time, sometimes the photos show them and I forget to not use that photo LOL. Jacket and rest of the out fit approved, love the pop of color.

I am seriously in love with this outfit! Hot pink looks amazing on you!

You're making me wish I could wear hot pink, but sadly, I can't. Red hair and pink don't mix - so I stick to wearing it on the bottom half of my person.
ReplyDeleteGreat blazer! I thought we had the same blazer because I recently picked up my magenta blazer from H&M on sale, but I went and checked and mine has a different sleeve lining so maybe it's not the same one. Regardless, it;s super cute and a really pretty color on you! Can't wait to see how else you wear it because I'm fo sho going to steal your outfits :)
