Borrowed from the Boys

by Jen on Monday, March 25, 2013

I'm not quite sure why, but almost everything I've been drawn to sartorially lately has veered toward the masculine side (with a feminine twist). This pinstriped blouse from Joe Fresh is the latest addition: I like how relaxed the fit is and the "borrowed from the boys" vibe it gives off, but the fact that it's made from silk keeps it somewhat feminine. Since the piece itself seems to give the best of both worlds, it only felt right to pair it with equally tomboyish jeans and heavy chains, polished off with red lips and a sky-high heel to maintain some girly appeal.
Wearing: Joe Fresh blouse (c/o), CURRENT/ELLIOTT denim, Brian Atwood pumps, Artessorio bag, Nixon watch, Club Monaco necklace

I like this relaxed and simple outfit borrowed from the boys. ;) I'm wearing a menswear inspired outfit myself for today's post on my blog.

Yep, I'm pretty sure those stilettos turned them right back into the feminine side! Such a gorgeous blouse - glad you took it from the boys ;)

I think this is the first time I've seen you wearing jeans, and adore how they look on you! Such an easy look, yet you make it look super sophisticated, they light on your pics is everything!

Cee. ♥

Lookin' fabulous as always, Jen!!! Here's to a delightful week.

Jen, I LOVE this look on you!! The striped silk blouse is stunning (whhhy don't any of the maritime Joe stores carry silk blouses?!) and the layered chains are so edgy with it! Your hair is also looking extra amazing in these photos! Total rockstar! xo.

I'm a sucker for a cute tomboy-ish outfit. Looking good as always Jen! =)

I am in love with everything about this post! Your outfit, the lighting and you are just fabulous! I like how this ensemble is such a departure from your more girly, feminine style, and yet it suits you so well. You can really pull off anything!

LOVE this! And those jeans are perfect!! katejones.me

I LOVE THIS OUTFIT, JEN! I really love the ripped up jeans and the casual, menswear feel of the button down. It's so airy and breezy, and while I love the edgy-yet-polished tailored sophistication of your usual ensembles, this feels so refreshing and effortless. One of my favorites.

I am so pinning this look. You are my inspiration for the week. <3

Love + aloha,
