An Instant Classic

Elizabeth and James Blouse. Rock and Republic Jeans. JCrew Necklaces. Karen Walker Sunglasses.
Christian Louboutin Pumps. Alexander Wang Bag. Michael Kors Watch. Vintage Bracelets.

Every girl needs a classic white silk blouse and this Elizabeth and James button up (purchased via Gilt Groupe) has quickly become a favorite. On another note, I decided to break in my pale pink Christian Louboutins (a score from my favorite consignment store) with an inaugural walk around the block. It's difficult scuffing those red soles for the first time but I plan to wear these beauties the night of my dress rehearsal and definitely do not want to slip while practicing my walk down the aisle. What I haven't revealed yet are my wedding shoes (hint hint)!

What a classic, chic and yet, modern look! I love a good white blouse, but it's always been a challenge for me to find the right one, one that fits in the shoulders and doesn't make me look like I'm swimming in fabric. This one looks fantastic on you, and is making me consider my initial opinions on blouses!

Those Louboutins are such a fantastic find! The silk blouse should be every girl's closet staple, and you look beautiful in it. And I can't get enough of your studded Alexander Wang purse.

I love everything about this outfit. Your necklace looks gorgeous with the A. Wang bag (which I desperately want to steal). You found Christian Louboutins at a consignment shop?! I need to shop out in San Fran, nothing like that around here! :)

Alicia, those shoes are amazing. I still cannot believe you found them at a consignment shop. Great find lady.

thefashionableESQ said...

NICE shoes. What a find. They're so cool looking.
Still want that Rocco bag. Doesn't J. Crew make the best chunky jewelry?
xo!

I seriously seriously can't believe you found those at a consignment shop. They are just divine! And I'm in dire need of a classic white blouse; guess I should go shopping soon!

That's a perfect white blouse. I actually went into Loehmann's for the 1st time last week and they had a huge selection of Elizabeth and James- couldn't have been happier! (Shouldn't let everyone in on this little secret ;))

I love your outfit! So lovely :)

Caitlin said...

kicking myself for not getting that top not - it's awesome. love this look :)

Alexis said...

Cute outfit! Love the silk blouse- I have an addiction to them:)
For your heels- you can get a red grip added to the sole so that it is always red. A nice cobbler will be able to do it. What a great find at Cris! You will be wearing those classics forever.

Sabby V said...

That shirt is great! Kinda reminds me of an Equipment blouse! So chic!

This look is basically my uniform. However I am currently looking for a bag to become my mainstay i.e. your Rocco... thoughts?

That shirt is really beautiful. Sometimes a classic look is the most flattering and appealing.

Tracy said...

I understand the pain of deflowering the louboutins! But it's worth every glorious step! I got a pair for mothers day, and did the exact same thing. Took them for a spin around he block, and then put them back in the box! LOL!
