DOTD: With a little help from my friends…

On my last visit to Curve Appeal I indicated that I had gotten 3 covers… and I am estatic with my choices. As I stated on twitter I got the twin to my pink polka dot blazer that i wore in an earlier post SEE POST HERE. The twin is this bright green color and I had to have it… because its one thing to make a pink blazer work in my closet when I love pink so much… how would the green blazer stand up. Well to begin i came up empty on ideas. Had no idea how to make this work even after google searching like items. So I went to my twitter friends and I am grateful for Sabrina of Defying my Closet and from Cid of Cid’s Style File for this idea. They gave me ideas that I was supposed to incorporate navy… but my dark wash denim is as close as I got… I think next time i will take more of a risk. Although this is a risk as well… I want to take it a step further on my next wear.

I also have to say I hated this when i first put it on. Even my son looked at me like I had lost my mind as it wasn’t something I would normally wear. But it was my daughters that did the trick… talking about how great I look. After I slapped on some war paint and earrings i really began to love it… What do you think?
*please note: the top is actually too tops layered over each other… a white cami & a white tube top with lace trim and the belt is wear they meet… lol

Outfit Breakdown:
Cami top: Wal-mart
Lace trim tube top: Dots
Skinny Jeans: Torrid
Boots: Aerosoles
Blazer: Curve Appeal Consignment
Earrings: Wal-mart
Belt: Lane Bryant

I like green on you! Those boots are awesome. My favorite shot is the side face profile with you look off the terrace -- nice outfit!

pretty good! I like the jeans and boots. I think maybe a blouse instead of cami may make a difference. But other than that I like the results of the outfit. Ok now where do I send my bill for the styling consultation....ha ha ha

I really like this outfit! While the blazer is bold, this casual look really works well with it. :)

Love Love Love how this all turned out! By keeping everything else neutral it made the blazer pop more.

I agree with Cid, try a loose blouse next time with skinnies. It will help balance out the cropped jacket.

@Cid: We can split the consultation fee 50/50.

I've been meaning to ask you how tall you are because you pull off these looks so well and they don't work on me. I end up looking stocky or something. I love the colors and I actually like the way you styled this.
