It All Started With a Boyfriend Blazer
Wednesday, July 22, 2009
So I was browsing online for a cute boyfriend blazer, and I came across this super cute one from Fred Flare. I think Kristin also featured this blazer on her blog but in the color gray.
It's the Necessary Objects Boyfriend Blazer (black):
(I love how the lining is pinstripes so when you roll up the cuffs, the pinstripes show. That's what drew me to this blazer.)
But of course since I was buying the boyfriend blazer, I just browsed some more and ended up buying three more items. Ugh, curse you online shopping!! I also had a discount code, so I got 30% off at checkout, but I really need more self-control with shopping!! Here are the other three items that I bought:
Necessary Objects Sweetheart Bustier Dress (hot pink):
(I love dresses with pockets!)
Scrapbook Chevron Striped Spaghetti Dress:
Mini Weave Townie Purse:
(I've been looking for a cross-body purse because it's cute and leaves your hands free.)
Ok, no more shopping for a while now!

oooo lala love the bf blazer look and that scrapbook dress is so cute!!! "no more shopping for a while..." yes that's what we all say. hehehe! ;P
July 22, 2009 at 10:15 AM
That blazer looks phenomenal! It's just the right mixture of structure and drape-y-ness. It would look smashing over that pink dress that you posted next!!
Great finds!
July 22, 2009 at 10:46 AM
*sadface*
I don't know if I'd be able to pull off any of these looks except for maybe the Striped Spaghetti Dress :( You'd think I could wear the pink dress, but I really tend to stay away from strapless anything because I have a really hard time finding things that fit me right.
July 22, 2009 at 10:51 AM
love the blazer! and that chevron stripe dress looks so comfy for this roasting/god awful weather!!!
July 22, 2009 at 10:57 AM
I love thank pink dress!
July 22, 2009 at 11:29 AM
I tried that same BF blazer, sadly it didn't look right on me - I think an XS would've worked but they only had a S. I LOVE that dress, Lily!!! And pockets - I adore! It's so funny how one thing always leads to another :)
July 22, 2009 at 11:35 AM
ah... I am SO into blazers right now... thank you rainy summer for allowing me to indulge!!!
July 22, 2009 at 12:18 PM
Ugh, I love that blazer, now I'm going to have to go look at it. Curse you! ;)
July 22, 2009 at 12:25 PM
If you must know, each and every one of these items is currently on my Fred Flare Wish List. Oui, I am a Fred Flare addict! :)
July 22, 2009 at 12:44 PM
Haha, I love how a quick look for one specific item can result in finding the perfect things to go along with it.
I love, love, love blazers! I'm hunting for the perfect one :)
July 22, 2009 at 1:17 PM
Great minds think alike. I featured the black one with that pink dress in the same post as the grey blazer. I love it all!!! That striped dress looks so comfy.
July 22, 2009 at 1:20 PM

July 22, 2009 at 1:30 PM

Love, love the Chevron stripe dress! The perfect mix of hippie and surfer girl ;)
July 22, 2009 at 2:56 PM
Aw, thank you, Lily. That was really sweet of you to send me that. I ended up getting a vintage boys blazer (yes another) looks similar but no fun lining. I had no idea this online shop existed and they actually ship to Canada! Thanks, Lily :) xx
July 22, 2009 at 3:24 PM
that is one savvy basic blazer.
July 22, 2009 at 3:45 PM

Those are such great purchases!!! I especially love the hot pink dress. You could totally dress it up or down with accessories and shoes. And I just read your new post. I am all for moving! I love experiencing a new neighborhood, city, and people. It makes things more interesting. Especially because you have to get out of your comfort zone. Anyway, good luck with everything! We are in the process of debating moving too.. So I know how you feel!
