After coming home from work, I decided to change into the outfit you see in the post, mostly because I really wanted to wear my new jumper from OASAP and it was slightly chilly today -- both good reasons to pull it out to wear. *smile*
What I'm Wearing
Navy Gingham Blouse -- Kohl's [$6]
Lilac Jumper -- c/o OASAP
Bootcut Jeans -- 1969 Gap via Simply Chic [$4.80]
Monogram Necklace -- c/o Onecklace
Ankle Booties -- Old Navy [$17]
Lipstick -- Rimmel Lasting Finish Matte by Kate Moss in 104
When trying to decided what to pair with the lilac jumper, I kept coming back to this navy gingham blouse, mostly because it just seemed to go perfectly with the jumper. Though, I must say the color combo read more springtime, than autumn to me. What do y'all think?
Looking back through the archives, it seems that I've worn this gingham blouse at least twice on BF before: here and here. Also, you can't really tell in these photos, but the blouse is completely sheer as it is made out of chiffon, so all of my outfit posts give some great ideas on how to style a sheer top modestly.

How would you style this lilac jumper?

Ahhh! That is so adorable! The color combo is slightly spring-ish, but the jeans and booties kind of make it a little more autumn-ish... still an awesome outfit! Thanks for posting the links to the other posts with that shirt. I just bought a sheer blouse on Saturday and was trying to figure out different ways to style it.
ReplyDeleteI watched Captain America 2... wow. That was an awesome movie! I think I liked it better than the first! Bucky made me so sad!

Yay! I'm glad that you found the other posts helpful for styling your sheer blouse, that is one of the things I love about blogging, being able to help others. :)
DeleteMe and my siblings are obsessed with Captain America 2 right now, totally one of our top favorite films right now. :) I'm so happy to hear that you loved it too.
Oh my word! You look adorable! Great look for autumn♥
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Carey!
DeleteOoooh, so gorgeous! I love the jeans and booties! Sorry to hear you're so tired though. Although sometimes being tired is a good feeling: makes you feel like you've accomplished something :)
ReplyDeletedance a real
Thanks! Also, that is true, Hannah, about the tiredness, as I'm certainly working hard on Tuesdays and accomplishing more every time I work, as I learn the layout more each time I work. :)
DeleteI never would have though of pairing that blouse and sweater together, but I love how they look together! It also looks nice and cozy. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sereina! :)
DeleteOoh you look so beautiful! Love that jumper, it's such a pretty color.

A very cute outfit! I want to try something similar sometime...
ReplyDeleteDo it! :D
DeleteBummer about the caffeine! It keeps me awake at all hours if the night if I have it too late in the day.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute outfit, Ashley!
Hmmm...if it was my sweater; maybe over a dress? That would be cute. Or under a blue jean jacket, or blazer?

Haha...I have a lot of friends like that.
DeleteThanks! Ooo...those are some cute ideas! Thanks for the suggestions, Natasha. :)
Also, totally sorry that I haven't been leaving comments on your blog for awhile now, I've kinda dropped off the "reading blogs & leaving comments" wagon this year, which totally sucks. I need to get better at it, pronto. :)
How're you liking the new "Doctor?"
ReplyDeleteNatasha
LOVING it!! The episodes keep getting better, and better!! :D
DeleteWhat a great preppy outfit! I really like your new jumper - I have discovered a fondness for sweaters with a large cable knit.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I have a big weakness sweaters, mostly because I'm coldblooded and I'm always cold, unless it is boiling hot outside, of course. ;)
DeleteHey :) Love your blog. Just out of curiosity, do you wear shorts? I am Christian, and I wear shorts at least to my mid-thigh, but I don't know if that's showing too much skin :P
ReplyDeleteYes, I do wear shorts, and if you look through all my posts during the summer months, you will see that I personally wear shorts that come to my fingertips, or longer. Of course, I have long arms so it makes the length a bit longer than most for me.
