Confession time, I adore everything about schoolboy blazers, from their fit and fabric to their little gold buttons and accentuated shoulders. Unlike other blazers what's so great about the schoolboy type is how easily they transition from casual wear to business wear. I threw on some fun coloured pumps to break up an otherwise tonal look. Please tell me I'm not the only one who matches my lips to my shoes.
Perfect fit aside, these blazers also take me back to my school years where I was stuck wearing a navy wool Ralph Laurenesque schoolboy blazer (more Harry Potter than Gossip Girl) everyday for the entire 6 years of my secondary education. At the time I couldn't wait to break free of my stuffy uniform. Who knew years later I'd still be wearing the same thing. This leads me to wonder.. will I still be wearing skinny jeans when I'm 80? I'm sure I'll be gaunt and sickly enough to pull them off a la Alexa Chung.

Very casual look, and while not really into oxford pumps, those are SUPER chic! This blazer is very nice on you to compliment this otherwise casual outfit.

Me too, me too!!! I am such a blazer girl, it's pretty much all I own. I just bought another this weekend (J Crew black cashmere, like I needed that) Anyway, I also grew up wearing a private catholic school long cardigan with white blouse and pleated skirt, which is why I favor them to this day, even though I hated wearing them growing up. (don't wear too many pleated skirts though these days). I love your thought about being Alexa Chung skinny when you're in your 80s, that is something to look forward to, although I hope I outgrow my love for skinnies sooner, haha! p.s. Love your lipcolor!

Jenee, your shoes are so HAUTE! Omg'd they are gorgeous. Love style and color! Your lippy does match them. HAHAHAHA You are GOOD! I've always been a fan of blazers. I went to private Catholic school all my life. In high school we had to wear them! They always looked great on everyone and it created a very POLISHED look. It's a classic. I love the pin you added to yours. Those adornments are really cute! Great post and you look beautiful as always doll.

Ha ha ha. I wonder that too Jenee, can I still wear skinny jeans and leather when I am 80? I actually love the matching lip and shoes. This look is so effortless chic to me. love it.

Gorgeous outfit; I love navy and hot pink together and this is the perfect combination.
Also, in regards to my merkin post the other day, I think I first read about a merkin in some historical fiction novel a long time ago, and once the image was in my head I couldn't shake it. Now I see them everywhere. Obviously, lol.
OMG you look amazing and you found the shoes!!! I need to order them now! ;) And I think that's its super awesome that you match your lipstick to your shoes- that's some serious dedication and I wish I could take the time to do that!

Big fan of blazers, they always pull any look together so nicely and huge fan of these fake out booties!
I love blazers but school blazers are some of my favorites, navy is the best. Great great post!

What a great outfit Jenee, especially with the smashing heels! I love and wear school blazers so much, definitely because of versatility to dress up or down for an outfit. xx :)
I love those shoes, and I love that you matched your lip color to them – so cute.

What a beautiful look!!!!! Love the lipstick matching shoes (fab!) and the whole outfit. Gorgeous! x
Love this simple look! I bought a navy blazer in the spring and will have to pair it with a white shirt and bright heels next time. I never thought about matching my lip color to my shoes! It looks great! Although, if I did my lips would either be black or brown... Looks like I need better shoes!
