Splash of Pink



What I'm wearing:
*J.Crew Schoolboy Blazer in Grey (similar here)
*Zara Navy/White Striped T-shirt (similar here)
*Gap Ankle Zip Leggings (similar here)
*Nine West "Sitcom" Over the Knee Boots in Black
*Bally Quilted Bag (similar here)
*Fuschia Pashmina from street vendor (similar here)


This was a super easy outfit to put together. I knew that I wanted to be comfortable, so the leggings and tee were obvious choices, but I decided this schoolboy blazer would keep me from looking too schlumpy.

I picked up a few brightly colored pashminas for very cheap by a little pop up market that was by Bleecker St this past weekend. This bright fuschia color was the one that drew me to this particular stall, and I decided at the super low price of 3/$10 I could take a few of these very soft scarves home with me. I love scarves to brighten up otherwise drab outfits, and they are a quick fix to change a look.


I've been obsessed with this quilted bag lately. It belonged to my mother in the 90s, and I have lots of memories of her carrying it around. Luckily my mother takes immaculate care of her handbags, and I feel very lucky to be able to wear her hand-me-downs.

Sorry for the quick post, have been very busy but wanted to show everyone what I've been wearing!

  1. Gorgeous!! I love the pop of pink. That's so cool you have a handbag of your mothers. I wish my mom would have kept stuff for me! The only thing I'm eying is a tea set, hehe.

  16. Love this outfit. I was actually thinking about buying this blazer, but It's kinda outside of my comfort zone (obv) and I also wasn't sure what size I would need. For reference what size are you wearing?

  20. What a beautiful handbag.

    I just recvd the Sitcom boots. Thanks so much for an excellent rec. Are you able to wear yours with skinny jeans? And have you tried wearing them w/a skirt or dress? I'm wondering about versatility.
