So Much Pretty: stripes & lace

This outfit was one of my absolute favorites of the last few weeks of 2012. The boots and blazer were both "on a whim" purchases, but I have definitely gotten my money's worth!

I feel both comfortable and chic in this outfit and I've actually worn it several times. I never thought much of either blazers or booties before and would have never thought that they'd become go-to pieces of mine!

Please excuse the weird pose.

I don't think I've had an SMP post since I got bangs, have I? My face definitely looks different with them and I am just lovin' the new look! It does take a bit more to get ready because I always have to do my hair, though.

I just love the lace detail on the back of this blazer. It's made me wonder why on earth I don't have more lace in my wardrobe. It's so pretty!

Blazer: Eyeshadow from Belk

Some better pictures of this outfit were taken while I was "modeling" for some friends :)
