Menswear Inspired
I looove me a good blazer. And I’ve found the best ones at Frank and Oak and this one is no exception. This happens to be the THIRD blazer I’ve ordered from them. I have a similar plaid blazer from Target that’s served me well but it’s starting to show signs of wear. So when I saw this blazer I knew I had to pick it up. It’s slightly more oversized with a sleeker cut. I’m totally in love!
Oversized plaid blazers always give me a menswear vibe so I thought I’d pair it with these tie waist trousers. I’m a sucker for tie waist pants and these were comfy and affordable! I paired them with these croc-embossed mules from Target but I feel like this look might be better with a pair of heels (see how the model styled them on the website). But I usually always choose practical footwear over heels so I went with the flats!
I wore this outfit to shoot photos with Lydia while she was in LA! I always drive over this bridge but never stopped to take photos. I’m glad Lydia was brave enough to walk out here with me! It offered really cool views of downtown but I didn’t like all the honking from cars as they drove by! Check out the photos that Lydia got on the bridge as well!

Thanks Lydia! Yeah, the lens flare is really fun! I’m glad they turned out like that 🙂
The mules are definitely my favorite piece! ♥
Thanks so much! They are one of my favorite Target finds! 🙂
You are rocking this look! I love the paper bag pants and fabulous blazer over top!
Aww thanks so much Laura! I hope you are having a nice week!
The trousers are gorgeous! I was never a huge fan of menswear, I always prefered more fun and feminine clothes but I feel like as I get older, my style changes and I think some pieces that look more “manly” are very good staples we all need in our wardrobes.

Thanks Marta! I feel like I’m either dressing really girly or in menswear inspired outfits…lol. It’s hard to choose sometimes!
I love this look! Menswear inspired looks are so hot for spring, I’ve been really enjoying them. On another note, in love with your sunglasses!!

Jess,
I love these neutral shades together and your bag is fantastic! I want a new woven one from Spring/Summer. Love the paper bag waist pants, and have been looking for a pair in olive. Those are great on you!
