Finds: Denim Jacket

Denim jackets are a big trend this spring/summer.  And, they seem to come in a lot of different styles - dark, light, distressed, colored, cropped, embellished, etc…  I like how #4 is styled with a white v-neck tee and skinny jeans and a pop of color with the orange shoes and bracelet.

Style Inspiration: Blake Lively Gucci Dress

This Halogen dress at Nordstrom reminds me of a Gucci dress Blake Lively wore in March.  The Nordstrom dress has a more graphical print, rather than plaid; however, it has a similar cut. I like how Nordstrom paired it with pink pumps, rather than trying to match the colors (yellow, gray, white) in the dress.  Also, I like how Blake Lively styled it with cap toe pumps and a rivet belt.

I am not sure if I would splurge on these snake print pants - but if I did, I think I would keep the look simple with possibly a denim shirt, black moto vest (or jacket) and black accessories (shoes and handbag).
