I am quite embarrassed to say that I have already broken my shopping ban. But… it was for a much wanted red blazer! Browsed Zara today and was so happily surprised to find it! The tags are actually still on though because I feel guilty. What do you girls think? It’s very lightweight (material feels like a thick stretchy cotton) but I’m not too fond of the sleeve lining (white and pale blue pinstripes). However, it has been a long search and I have not found one that even comes close.
Keep or return?
These Bally peeptoes were a gift from my generous parents during our last trip to Europe… the leather on them is soft, supple and amazing and I don’t wear them as often as I should because I’m afraid to ruin them!
Sorry for the general lack of smiles in this post. Not super happy today, and I’m not great with faking it. Wish I could say retail therapy works, but unfortunately it doesn’t for me.
Hope you’ve had a better day!!
P.S. I’ve just signed up for a Twitter account… but I don’t really know anyone who uses it, nor have I really figured out how it works. Haha! Here’s the link!
Wearing: Jacob silk blouse, Zara shorts and blazer, Bally peeptoe platform pumps, BCBGMAXAZRIA statement necklace
KEEP IT! The fit is very nice, it’s a great shade of red, plus it’s a classic piece. And don’t beat yourself up over it.

I say keep it. It’s a great jacket. I really like it. I wish they have Zara locallly. I’ve heard many good things about that store. Love that color on you

Wow that is fire engine red! You look fantastic in it, and if you’ve been searching that long for it, then well it’s fate – you must keep it haha. Hope you feel better soon!
first, i hope you are alright, keep your head up lady.
second…that is such a keeper it’s not even funny, i’d be so sad if you returned it – it looks great on you!!! and it’s unique!
Hey Girl! Yesterday I tried on a totally similar pair of shoes!!!! :o) Ended up with clogs, though.. Power of fashion!

Gorgeous outfit!
I follow you.
KEEP, KEEP, KEEP! Red jackets are hard to come by – this one looks GORGEOUS on you!! 🙂
Ok this is tough! BUT, I would have to say return it for now and come back when it goes on sale!:) So I’m not saying that it doesn’t look good on you, but you could get it at a cheaper price in a couple of months when ZARA is getting rid of its Summer collection 😉
Blazer dilemma aside, I REEEAAALLLLLYYY LOVE YOUR NECKLACE! Geez girl, you have a great collection of statement necklaces :D:D:D
And I hope you’re feeling better now. Everybody is entitled to a down time 🙂

Yes, I bought my shoes on VS ;)!
Hi Jen, sorry it took me so long to get back to your question about simply sublime – the company has moved to Greece! I actually bought a wack of stuff from them when they had their going away sale. if you’re a big fan, i think Constantina will still do online orders.
love the red coat and bally shoes. and you should wear them!! i know how you feel about ruining things but i think to get the most of it, you should wear it.
You look fantastic!
KEEP it! Absolutely, that blazer is gorgeous! Well, if you don’t keep it, you can send it to me haha! 😀 I think I must get a red blazer. I really love your whole outfit – it’s perfect.
Love that blazer! Looks great on you!
I love it, I say keep it! love this look, so classic and beautiful 🙂

I love the red blazer, definitely keep it if you can see yourself wearing it again with other things in your closet. Otherwise, I love the taupe peep toe shoes, they look comfortable.
nice post love reading it.
