A few months ago I realized that my closet was seriously lacking a good selection of silky blouses so I’ve been on the lookout for the perfect colors, prints, patterns, and most importantly, fits. I was absolutely smitten when I found this designer black and white striped blouse at T.J. Maxx. I knew it would be the perfect shirt to mix and match with all of the other prints in my wardrobe.
On the topic of black and white, I’m going to need to have a little intervention before too long. Lately, all of my outfits have been black and white and neutral all over! Can’t stop, won’t stop with the classic combo. It’s just too easy. No matching or color coordinating needed! What can I say, I can be a bit lazy in the AM hours. I’m working on becoming more of a morning person, but that’s a whole different ballgame.
To try to inject some color into my monochromatic looks, I’ve been reaching for red. I love the Parisian feel of a black, white, and red ensemble. Even if it’s just a bold red lip! Très chic. Speaking of red lip, I found this fabulous shade at T.J. Maxx, too!
Remember how I gushed about my other obsession this fall, leather? Well, when I saw this absolutely fabulous leather-sleeved jacket, I snatched it up without thinking twice! It mixes black & white, red, and leather. I mean, I just couldn’t say no! The quality of both the tweed and leather is amazing. Plus, the price was almost too good to be true. That’s what I call a win on each and every single level!

Because I’m Obsessed
I’ve been making more of an effort on the silky blouse front lately too — I seem to have plenty of warm-weather tops and sweaters, but not much in between for the early fall months!
I love this outfit Jessica! The circle skirt is perfect and I love the pattern mixing.

It really is a wonderful blouse… great jacket, too… lovely skirt… oh, and those heels rock!
LOVE this whole look!
I got a good laugh over you favoriting my tweet about sucking at blog commenting, so I thought I would pop on over here! 😉 I am obsessing over B&W lately, you are not the only one! I recently got a pair of Franco Sarto heels in a deep red but super similar to yours (mine were from Marshalls!) and they are so perfect for the fall/winter seasons.
Looking lovely!
XOXO

What a great TJX find! I love getting designer stuff and less-than-designer prices 🙂 I need more silk blouses that fit.
Great jacket! I love little fitted tweed jackets and I love leather sleeves, so the two put together is a great combo. The striped blouse is super cute too, I have an old blue and white stripey blouse that it reminds me of, I need to pull that and start wearing it again.
I always love the combination of tweed + leather — something about it just works! Your outfit is cute!
