The weather in LA refuses to get cool, which I'm fine with (I could use a few more beach days), but it does make getting dressed a little tricky. I threw on these shorts the other day and paired it with a tunic which was super comfy but didn't really seem work & meetings appropriate. So, on came the blazer and wedges and voila - an outfit that's still comfy but a bit more polished.
My blazer is from the Gap but no longer available, wedges are Delman (these from Kate Spade are similar), tunic is old from Zara (this one from Tory Burch is beautiful and kind of similar) Tory wrap bracelet from my sister (thanks Hil!) and Chanel bag. I am also wearing my trusty J Crew belt and shorts, and Ray Ban wayfarers.
On another note - did any of you watch Bachelor Pad? Do you want to punch Nick as much as I do?
Yes - blazers and wedges always do the trick when you need to dress something up! And I love your Tory Burch wrap bracelet, it's so pretty!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Whitney....love this California casual look of blazer & shorts combo!!!

OK. As ashamed as I am to admit it--I watched the entire Bachelor Pad season. And after last night, I can't STAND nick. So glad that someone else besides me thinks he's a total dud!

this is my favorite look i've come across today! perfect balance between casual and classy. a little bit obsessed with your hair as well :)
ReplyDeleteReally like this look. The blazer fits perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI have to say that I actually applaud Nick for doing what he did. Although Rachel got shafted in more ways than one, (Michael is the REAL cad) I don't think her head was really in the game all along. She kind of got what she deserved I think.

I love the blazer with shorts! However, I'm not with you on the cooler weather! We (on the east coast) finally are starting to get a taste of it and I'm loving it! Can't wait to pull out the fall gear! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI definitely think adding the blazer makes things more polished (and that chanel bag works too!!). You definitely should go in February! I would love to meet up with you :)

I love yout top and blazer - such a chic outfit! I find dressing well in hot weather really hard, but that's probably because where I live is always cold so I'm not used to it!

You look so cute (as always!)
ReplyDeleteYes, I watched Bachelor Pad!! Not to sound dark but Nick was a little bit scary when he got up and was like "I did it all myself! I had no one!" Really? Dude, take a Xanax. You look like you're about to pull out a gun and threaten these people's lives.
