A blazer, jeans, and sneakers is something that always looks cute while scrolling through Pinterest. However, it is way out of my comfort zone. Separately, I can deal. But put all together made me just feel weird. But I persevered and actually wore this all day to work. I would much rather wear my wedge boots with this type of outfit or even swapping the sneakers for a pair of Sperry’s would make me feel better.
Do you like to step out of your comfort zone when it comes to putting together outfits? Throughout the Style Perspectives series, I’ve found I like to mix things up, but only in certain silos. I often “dress down” fancy items rather than going the other way like today’s prompt. And well, lets be honest; anything involving jeans can be a struggle for me. But I do have some good news on the jeans front. While in Las Vegas, I got two pairs of 7 for All Mankind jeans and they are pretty darn good. This is the first time I’ve worn a pair. They are a bit long for me so I need to get them hemmed (PS: I’m pretty sure I have never gotten anything hemmed in my life!) but the rolling the skinny jeans seems to work ok for now.

Blazer via Old Navy
Tank top via Old Navy

Last week’s leggings and a scarf looks came with tons of variety! Be sure to join us next week for Graduation Looks!
I personally think you look precious as can be even if not your normal outfit ensemble…it rocks!! That top is the prettiest pattern!!
Thank you! As soon as I saw this tank at Old Navy, I knew I had to have it!
I agree with Andrea, I think this outfit is really pretty and it has that casual edge with the sneakers
Thanks Deena!
I’m jealous of your wardrobe. And how many purses do you own? That necklace is perfect for that outfit.
I’m not even sure on the purse count. A lot! ?
Good for you stepping out of your comfort zone and wearing the outfit out of the house! I personally think you pull it off well.
Thanks Christy!
good for you for venturing out, you made me do that with the plaid in spring!!
I really like this look on you
Also, I recognize that bag!!!!!!! 🙂 SCORE!
I will say that I do really like that about this series! Kate says hi 🙂 had to get a bit more of the Vegas buys on the blog 🙂
What a pretty outfit. I love the top!
Thank you Cara!
I like your Nike sneakers. These prompts have taken me out of my comfort zone for sure. 7 FAM are my favorite jeans – they are so comfy and will last forever!

That is great to hear about the jeans. They are my first higher end jeans purchase so it was a little tough to pull out the wallet to get them!
Yay for Vegas jeans! You look great!
Thanks Lana!

Thank you Brie!
I’m loving your blazer! I am like you too where I pick out an outfit and then never wear it out in public…LOL
This might be my favorite blazer, it feels like a sweatshirt.
I think your days of struggling to find jeans are over. These are smashing on you. And forget hemming this pair, they look perfect cuffed just the way you have them. Very flattering fit. You look super slim and trim. Oh, yeah, and the rest of your outfit is terrific, too. I like the texture or marled looked of your blazer. It looks soft rather than stiff and business like. A+ or, if you prefer, grand slam!
Thanks Leslie! The blazer is a knit one, so it is super comfy!
I love the spin you put into the blazer and sneakers look and made it you Allison. I need the tank and blazer from Old Navy. And good job on rolling those jeans. They came out great!

You look gorgeous! I’m so glad you found a pair of jeans that work for you! I’m still on the hunt, I can just never find a pair that are comfortable and flattering!
