Still Green - But Trying to be Sexy

You know how some men collect t-shirts, women shoes or handbags? Well I collect blazers. It started out accidentally, I fell in love with a store called Cassis and they had great and affordable blazers. So I purchased a few, then I got some from Joe Fresh, Banana Republic, Tall Girl, J Crew and then the big times: my Smythe Blazer. It just snowballed! I am done with them (and all clothing) for now because I blew through my fall budget (and winter really) and am on financial lock down, I digress. Anyway, last year I purchased my most fun blazer - a leopard print blazer from La Femme De Carriere. This blazer is a fantastic rendition of what Dolce & Gabana did last year. I just had to have it. Like I said yesterday Leopard is like the animal print neutral for me. I don't consider it a pattern.

When I was finished taking my pictures (re-taking really) I was thinking of what else would go with this blouse and how Kristina (from Kiki's Parlour, lijepotica moja) was telling me to be bolder. So I said "I know how to be bold" and ran inside to add a few things.

Ta da!


I am so trying to smile with my eyes and look all smouldering. Taking pictures at the side of your house while your neighbours are walking by can be a bit strange.


Like I was saying yesterday - emerald and leopard combined can do no wrong. Plus if you are going somewhere after work and you want to add some fun I think this is an easy quick change. I think this blazer will be with me for a while. I may not wear it for a few years but I'm hoping to pull it out every so often. I love the exaggerated shoulder. This is the only thing that may date this piece. The piping detail is just a great touch.

    I love this look on you and LOVING the boldness of leopard. Ha!
    You really are the queen of blazers, in fact, you might have even inspired me to add some more to my collection. I have my eye on a pink J.Crew one.

  20. I love La Femme de Carierre! That's where the moto jacket in today's outfit post is from, we had a store in Chicago and sadly it closed. I think my accessories collection is out of control, so it's alright that you have a nice collection of blazers.

    1. Funny that we all have our thing. You need to come North of the border and visit.

  21. I totally agree that leopard and emerald combined can do no wrong. In fact, they complement each other. I also love your choice of footwear for the clothing. This is perfect for an office day then gal's dinner afterwards.
