Helmut Lang Blazer (similar and I want this version with sleeves). Parker Blouse. Vince Leather Shorts.
J.Crew Bangle. The Row Sunglasses. 3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli Satchel (love this version). Zara Heels.
I don't like to toot my own horn, but in this case I will... I recently found this Helmut Lang blazer at my favorite consignment store in San Francisco (Cris). The sleeves had been chopped off by the previous owner so I took it to my seamstress for a little fixing. She sewed the sleeves into a perfectly capped fit and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Plus, check out this almost identical Helmut Lang vest (although with leather capped sleeves) I just discovered! It's the perfect working girl layering piece if you ask me.
On another note, I've been pinning for Otte boutique this week. Follow my pins for inspiration.
Business in front.
Party in the back.
