30 May Floral Blazer
I just love the backdrops of many of the public areas here in Huntersville, NC and throughout NC. Lots of flowers everywhere. When I saw the trend of the floral blazer, I was on the hunt. I could wear florals every day and be happy about it. Something about colorful flowers that just makes one happy. I always loved flowers. When my husband and I married 13 ( wow) years ago, I had asked for everything with red roses on it. So we had, rose shower curtains, plates, dishes, pillows, comforters, you name it. As I mentioned, I always liked roses and flowers.
So, hunting for a floral jacket was more of a task than one would think. I am picky about the colors, and I just loved one that Zara was showing last year, with oranges, reds, pinks, etc. This was a lovely blazer however, I have no idea how the blazers on Zara fit, and I didn’t want to risk it on Ebay that it didn’t fit. So, instead, I went to another store on-line, whose clothing I really like as well, for their uniqueness: Anthropologie. I had looked at this before, but low and behold it was on sale, at a price that worked for me! I like how it is fitted, even though the material is soft , it is still structured as a moto jacket. Again, another warm day, so shorts were in order, with my favorite Clark floral Artisian sandals. I will pair this jacket at a later date with a skirt, but today, it was shorts. Hope you enjoy the jacket!

Posted at 13:45h, 01 JuneCute blazer, Jess! ZARA had a blazer and a matching pencil skirt last year. I remember it well as I tried the skirt. Colours were a lot brighter though.
I think these subtle colours suit you better!
Enjoy the sunshine 🙂

Posted at 14:01h, 01 JuneThank you Annette. No makeup on that post, I think the sun got rid of it all. Anyhow, thank you! I liked the cut and the roses were my style. I do remember the orange, red, and yellow blazer and skirt, and remembered loving it, but I didn’t shop much there then. I love it now, as I get the clothes in 2 days and free ship. And they have beautiful clothes too. You too, enjoy the day, going out soon. jess xo

Posted at 17:58h, 30 MayYou have so many beautiful handbags! I like the way they go with your earings. I also love the collar of your jacket. I buy a lot of clothes on ebay. I tend to try on clothes in store, then when something appears on ebay I grab it. Maybe you could try some jackets on in Zara so you know how they fit on you? Great look.
Jess Jannenga
Posted at 08:43h, 31 MayThank you for all of the lovely comments. I have a few very nice handbags.. since I cant wear beautiful heels because of my condition, I dont buy many shoes, but I bet my hubby would rather me go back to shoes than bags 🙂 That is smart about Ebay, and yes, I think i will eventually try a jacket at ZARA to see what fits. xo jess

Posted at 13:03h, 30 MayHi Jess, I passed through NC on my way to my son’s graduation from basic training almost 10 years ago (wow how time flies). Anyway I have to agree the scenery in NC is beautiful and I love your choice of the backdrop in today’s post. I’ve been on the hunt for a floral jacket as well but I’d like it to pastel shaded but to date no luck. As always you look great. Hope you’re feeling much better.
Jess Jannenga
Posted at 08:39h, 31 MaySo glad you stopped by Steph! I have been wondering how you are. I know time does fly too fast! Thank you for commenting and I am glad you like the jacket, Antho has some really neat pieces if you look for a sale. jess xx
