Hello!
I have to say this is my favorite outfit from 2011 so far. There's so many little elements that make it a wonderful whole. You can tell how much of a wimp/California girl I am: It was 50-degrees this morning and I bundled up with three thick layers and break out a real jacket (but then it got too hot so I took it off). This is my new sailor jacket. If you follow my Twitter, I tweeted once that my 2011 mission was to find a sailor jacket and a sailor dress. One down, one to go! I have been on the hunt for one since last Spring so when I saw this at H&M, I knew I had to walk away with it. It's also my last purchase before I self-imposed my shopping ban. It was a good last purchase I must say. I'll get better pictures if it ever gets cold again.

This outfit was inspired by this photo on my Tumblr. When I started my sweater pullover craze this Winter, I knew I was going to pair at least one with a peter pan collar one day, but I just didn't know how. I love the way it came out. I'm definitely going to wear it like this again. I probably have more stripes than a zebra in this outfit with my sweater and my skirt both being striped. I'm even monochromatic like a Zebra too. I've been shopping in my own closet lately and falling back in love with old pieces. I really hope this shopping ban sticks, but with how frequently I've been wearing these shoes lately, I am wanting another pair in a different color. If only they had it in red...!

Until next post,
Jasmine

    This is definitely one of my favorites of yours as well! I adore that striped top with the little collar and the elbow pads. And don't get me started on that sailor coat. I can see you sailing on a boat haha :P

    I just LOVE how you styled the sailor coat, you look so adorable! There are way too elements of this outfit I adore; the sailor coat, the peter pan collar, the elbow pads, the bows! Don't worry I'm a wimp when it comes to the weather; clearly a California thing :) Everyone in SF can't function outside the range of the 60s.

    And I must say the same thing! This is one of my favorite outfits from you! The color palette is lovely and soothing. That sweater is just AHHHHHMAZING! Stripes? LOVE. Elbow pads? MORE LOVE. Good call wearing a peterpan collar blouse underneath the sweater, it totally sweetened the overall look :) Oh gosh, I'm just in love with this outfit. WOOHOOO :D
