Smart Casual Coattails & Caviar

DH went on a bike ride this morning, so I was able to make some time for outfit photos! Yay!

New T Tahari wrap back blazer and John Varvatos men's sunnies bought during Clear the Racks online. I didn't think the jacket looked that great on the model, but I adore it in person. Very Helmut Lang to my eye, and with my discount I think I paid all of $30 for it. Bwahaha!

Worn with new-to-me damaged HL tank - bought for $2.50 a while back at the flea market. Came with a large rip/hole in the back, so I decided to rip some more holes in it and call it "destroyed." I'll wear it with the destruction on display some weekend for you. :) Threw my caviar sandals on bottom to bookend jacket and also because I hurt my back the other day and needed a very low and stable shoe. 

Bonus 6-7 wide legs from the flea market. What do you call those in 7? Gauchos?? Culottes? o_0

Taking some deep, healing breaths today before the mad rush to pull for my first NAS appointments! *wheeze, wheeze*

    Super outfit from head to toe, Rae, and what fun sandals! Sorry to hear you hurt your back though, and right before the hectic NAS. Hope it heals quickly! And have a ball at NAS, of course;-)

    Great outfit!  I love the jacket - I'm glad you included a rear picture to really see how it looks.  Fun pedicure color.  The white flairs look like fun and I'm not sure what to call #7 either - gauchos?  Whatever they're called, I really like them on you.

    You look great! Hope your back feels better soon.

  • viva replied 9 years ago

    You look amazing as usual. I wish I could see that jacket better - I imagine there is some cool detailing I'm not quite getting in the pics.

    LOVE 6 and 7. Makes me want to bust my white wide legs out tonight. I don't know why those feel just so summery to me.

    So nice to see you, Rae - you are always an inspiration to try to look cooler. haha. Good luck with NAS!

    Fun outfits! I hope your back is feeling better soon and your NAS this year is better than last year!

    Wow, I LOVE that jacket! What a fantastic purchase. Of course I immediately followed the link to see it isn not there in my size. grrrr.....

    Fantastic outfits and so glad you posted. The sandals are cute, too. 

    Good luck with the sale!! Get some rest first!!

    Love everything! You always look so terrific, Rae! The gauchos are all kinds of awesome--the wide legs too :) Good luck at NAS!

  • rachylou replied 9 years ago

    These are great looks! I'd call the pants gauchos, and I'm sooo jealous. I want a new pair and all I see are jams.

  • cheryl replied 9 years ago

    You look great and i love those shoes and turquoise toes. 

  • shedev replied 9 years ago

    Love the jacket. Sending healing vibes for your back.

  • UmmLila (Lisa) replied 9 years ago

    The jacket is great. I'm definitely going to follow up on more Helmut Lang. And I like the shape of the gauchos / culottes on you.

    (I always wonder, what exactly were the sansculottes wearing during the French Revolution? Nothing on the bottom?)

  • Aida replied 9 years ago

    Ooh great jacket! It looks like a totally different cut on you compared to the model. Fab look, the caviar sandals make me giggle in the best possible way up against the camo ^^ Sending you a few extra breaths for NAS, I'm sure you'll rock it :D

    EDIT: Oh yes, the wide pants in 6/7 both look good to me. The gauchos (?) in 7 are super fun!

  • replied 9 years ago

    Rae, you're looking good! I'm so jealous of that discount. Your jacket, shades and caviar sandals are so fab. Good luck for the NAS. You should probably be carb loading right now.  ;)

  • Karie replied 9 years ago

    Great outfits! #1 and #6 are my favs.

  • Thistle replied 9 years ago

    Good luck with NAS and I hope your back feels,better soon.

    Fab outfits, especially love the new sunnies! The white wide legs are so summery and perfect.

  • CocoLion replied 9 years ago

    Love the first outfit, you look like an understated fashion authority in it.

  • Neel replied 9 years ago

    Ha! Missed you Rae! The jacket in 1 is beautiful!! Wow. And I also love 6! I have been forever searching for white pants (not jeans) ... And I have some white pants envy now :D. You do wide legs fantastically well and I love 7 too. They look like culottes to me. Great finds! Good luck with NAS!

  • Firecracker (Sharan) replied 9 years ago

    Cool jacket, and I like the whole outfit in 1. Wow, NAS is a bad time to have a back injury. (Well, really, no time is good for that, but you know what I mean.) Good luck with the sale!

  • ElleH replied 9 years ago

    Love the jacket & shades. Your hair is great! I haven't seen you lately. I've been a bit scarce so your hair may have been like this for a while.

  • Lisa replied 9 years ago

    #1 reminds me to start sporting my camo jeans more often and pairing it with a blazer is a great idea, thanks!
    #2 is a nice look too, I always like black and white for summer.
    #3 is another fun look, I don't know what they are called, but the trousers are a great shape.

  • jackiec replied 9 years ago
