Blazers {Classic Style}

I am a huge fan of blazers. In fact, I picked up a great one at Kohls yesterday but you'll have to wait to see me wearing it as I'll  be rocking it tonight! Here are a few bloggers that I absolutely love, rocking blazers the right way!

It's Springtime on Gilt

Even though the streets in Chicago are still covered in snow and despite the fact that my toddler and I spent over an hour playing outside today, I cannot wait much longer for Spring. It is not the heat I am after but Springtime in this city is one of the best. And with that comes a lot of walking. How else would you look cute and be comfortable if it wasn't for the classic espadrilles, wedged of course?! If you love this iconic shoe style, be sure to thank the Spanish brand and family by the same name, Castañer. You can also thank YSL (yes, as in Yves) in commissioning the first wedge back in the 1960's with the brand's current designer, Isabel Castañer. Castañer has been making espadrilles since the Spanish Civil War. Now that is a long time to stay on top considering this style comes out every Spring, year after year and every year we welcome it with open arms. While, I love the originals, it seems that buying it at full price right now would throw off my budget. 

What is that?

Oh, the are going on sale in the US on Gilt tonight at 9pm? 

Oh, why didn't you say so. 

Budgets at ease, this one will be a breeze, only a slight dent. This was to be my post for tomorrow but let's be honest, your size will be gone by then. Time for some online shopping. You're welcome.

I was not compensated for this post and will be buying my own pair with my own money. Okay, maybe not my own money but with the hubs money but same thing right?

The Perfect Tweed Non-Jacket

So I decided that there were a few things missing from my closet and I knew I just needed a tweed jacket of any sort. After giving myself a budget of no more than $50 including tax, I searched online for the best deals and found this one at Target. Since, I did not want to pay for shipping, I grabbed my kid and headed to Target and found a Tweed sweater for under $9! They should still have a few so I would run, not walk over to check out the sale rack.

The Inspiration:

My Version:

button up: UK French from Sears | sweater: Mango from Jcpenny | leggings: Target | boots: Steve Madden | necklace: Jojo & Sofia

dress: H&M | leggings: Target | boots: Steve Madden | watch: Chanel | bracelet: THS 

Now I just need a white tunic like she does in the picture. Back to the sale rack.
