Stripes (and the Zara blazer again)

Zara jacket, Ann Taylor top and pants, Chanel flats

It dawned on me that this is another Zara blazer (similar to the red one I wore here and similar to the one I actually wore today to be in another post soon).  I've been shopping at Zara for years.  I used to shop there in Manhattan before they found their way to Boston and while I have luck buying so many things there, the one thing that seems to grab my eye the most is their jackets.  So it should be no suprise that I've worn some version of the Zara blazer for the last few days in a row.  Here I wore it with a new pair of Ann Taylor trousers which I bought in both black and navy (see them in more detail here).  My picture of these trousers doesn't do them justice but they have the right amount of stretch with a zipper detail near the inner ankle. 

Ann Taylor Top, J Crew necklace

I also must give props to this J Crew necklace that I got on sale recently.  I really just liked the way it looked but on my trip to NYC this weekend, one of the sales people at Barney's commented on it and thought it was Lanvin.  It does look quite like the Lanvin brass and crystal jewelry but for a small fraction of  the price.

wow, quite the compliment - BR for Lanvin? I love those Ann Taylor pants - I've been eying them, perhaps now is the time to pull the trigger.

Love the Zara jackets you are rocking in this post and the previous one. They look so polished and feminine. - Katy

I just LOVE when people think something you paid way little for is actually some way expensive designer. So gratifying.

I agree with Lani - I feel so good when someone makes a comment about a purchase like Barneys NY did during your trip to The Big Apple. Lovely nautical look here!
