Not So Spring-like


Helmut Lang Blazer.  Funktional Blouse.  gifted Paige Denim Jeans.  
gifted DVF Booties.  gifted Brahmin Bag.  Made By Beanie.

Well remember when I was craving this Helmut Lang blazer? Yea I totally took my own advice (I tend to do that!). It's the perfect light weight blazer for spring / summer although on this particular day it was about 40 degrees out and not so spring-like at all. It's one of those blazers that I can see myself pairing not just with jeans as seen here, but with dresses and skirts as well for a toned down and instantly cool look.



PS: If you're crushing on leather sleeved jackets like me... this Zara jacket is another cool option!
