When I started working, I told myself (and you) that I would be more careful about my spending. But in all honesty, it has been a little difficult, especially since this week is the last week of sales for the summer! This outfit is comprised of entirely new items… including a $34 peplum jacket, $29 shoes, $11 belt and an $11 statement necklace, which makes me feel a little better about my lack of control lately.

Don’t forget to enter the giveaway for a gorgeous Harriet Grey statement necklace here! You have until Wednesday night at 11:59pm PST!

Wearing: Forever 21 top and shorts, RACHEL Rachel Roy jacket, vintage belt, Zara shoes, necklace from The Bay

  1. I love this entire outfit so I say heck with the “careful spending” hahaa, okay well maybe you shouldn’t listen to me, I’m really just a bad influence. Any how, that necklace is awesome and I love how it really does make a statement and yet it complements your overall outfit too. The jacket is beautiful and I love the little peplum skirt. Your outfits are always well put-together and in all honesty, the amount of money you spent on this outfit and the way it looks make it totally worth it. Cute photos too! Airport, right?

  2. This is such a chic & classy outfit, perfect for the office, and would look good on a night out as well! I love all of it!

  3. What a beautiful outfit! I love how you paired your shorts with heels. You look so tall in those pics. I know what you meant about spending. I am a sucker when it comes to sales too. This is the time of year when everything goes on sales. Great outfit!

  5. That jacket is so cute! I saw a peplum jacket on another blogger (The(Chloe)Conspiracy) and now I’m obsessed. Great idea to belt it. It gives the jacket a cute little flare at the bottom.

  6. Gorgeous jacket!! Love the cut! And top is wonderful…great for the office and to go out afterwards for happy hour :) A win/win look!

  7. The jacket is so adorable! I tried looking on the website and no peplum jacket. =0( Do you know where one might find one in the United States?

  8. Wow, those are some fab finds right there! And you put them all together so well, that it looks like you spent at least a $1000! Great eye :) And I am super jealous of your vintage belt…have been looking for a similar one forever. Sigh.

    I can justify careful spending like this…especially since the sales will be over so soon :)

  9. You look super cute and sophisticated! Love the whole outfit! I’m not a big fan of shorts but you really pulled it off!
