Lately, I have been wearing a lot of loose blazers over fitted dresses, jeans, and shorts. Sometimes I get lazy about dressing up and the boyfriend blazer over a fitted dress is a great go-to outfit for me.
This look appears effortless but it remains structured. The strong lines of the blazer can help an outfit transition easily from day to night because it adds a touch of severity to other more casual items.

I wear a lot of black but a true, deep shade of purple is my all time favorite color. Sometimes finding the right style in your favorite color can be difficult. To me the cut and the color of an article of clothing are both equally important. I wouldn’t buy a beautiful top if the color didn’t compliment my complexion. At the same time, I also wouldn’t buy an item that was made in a beautiful color if the cut wasn’t right for me. Do some research about your complexion and what colors fit you best.  My skin has olive green undertones so any intense colors and rich colors, like black, navy blue, red, and hot pink look great on my complexion.

Wearing: vintage boyfriend blazer and clutch, J-brand jean, AA white tee, and Fendi shoes.

NiniTip: To keep the outfit balanced, always try to keep the rest of your outfit clean when you add a loose blazer. Wear it with a fitted dress underneath that has a fun pattern. For fall, try a black sequin legging and turtle neck to move into the colder weather.

I also just listed this Chanel jacket at a staring bid at $100 so everyone can have a chance to bid on it. Click here to see the jacket

I’m not a sweet-tooth but every now and again Loc takes me out to have some ice cream. Our usual spot is Paciugo. They have fresh ice cream made every morning and my favorite flavor is mocha.  A lot of readers have emailed me to ask what kind of exercise I do to keep my body slim and fit. My answer is I don’t do as much as I would like to do. I walk a lot and I really watch what I eat to maintain my weight.

I just added two new pieces to my closet. The first is a fabulous brown vintage silk shrug. I love to add items that have a bit of drape to them to outfits like this because it gives me an elegant movement when I walk and brings a balance to the look. The second item is way more rock-and-roll: vintage Levis 501 ribbed shorts that I bought from Urban Outfitters for $28.00. I think the shorts will be a great addition to my closet. I plan to wear them with anything that is a little more conservative. I can’t wait to try a vintage boyfriend blazer with them or pair them with an over-sized sweater for fall.

Wearing: Lanvin yellow tank with bows, vintage brown silk wrap, vintage Levis 501 short, vintage bag, Marni shoes, Club Monaco lucite cuffs and Alexander McQueen clutch.

Ninitip: Prevent looking like a teenager when you wear your ripped shorts by pairing them with something stylistically opposite. I paired them with something clean and elegant to keep the shorts from making the entire outfit too grungy. Mixing high and low as well as clean and dirty is a fun way to create functional outfits! That way you can rock a chic look with  a nice elegant lift to whatever you wear.

Have a nice weekend everyone!!! Nini Nguyen
