Happy Hump Day!
I’m in disbelief that today is August 1! Seriously?!?
Clearly a blazer is not really needed this time of year, unless you work in a office where they like to freeze you to death. Or those restaurants that like to kick you out as fast as possible by keeping it way too cold so they can get more customers in faster – no wait ever (that’s my reasoning behind it).
Or you just like blazers and don’t mind melting wearing one.
Whatever, it’s all cool!
I agree – stripes never get old and they are simply timeless! also love how you paired it with that lace top — gorgeous! xohttp://allthingsprettyandlittle.blogspot.com/
Stripes never get old and neither does lace. Great outfit, love how your heels and accessories coordinate too.
It sure doesn't you look gorgeoushttp://shana-style.blogspot.com
Totally agree that stripes NEVER get old! They are a classic print that are always in style! I LOVE your outfit today! Really love the pops of turquoise!xo Jennywww.crazystylelove.com
Love this look on you Lilly! I have been secretly hoping for cooler days to bring my blazers back out…I miss them. Lindsay @ LindsayJEveryday.blogspot.com
Stripes are here to stay and blazers are perfect for offices that blast the AC. I'm constantly adding a cardi or blazer for that reason. I love yours layered over the lace.
I love this outfit, it's the perfect amount of girly, fun and classy!
your style never gets old!
So cute! Love the stripes! (I'm a stripe addict :o)) and the bubble necklace too…they're great!
Very cute. Love the stripes and the lace.Creamy
Love this blazer with the lace… and solid point about restaurants they are always up to sneaky things like that, I believe you! Sarahttp://seventwentysomethings.blogspot.com
Gorgeous outfit! I love the lace top, so cute!
What a pretty lace top! And I love blazers – they're perfect to keep you warm in the office during the summer!
Your post title… the truth!!!!!!!!!! Love your blazer, paired with the lace is just lovely!xoxo,Rachel
If I could wear a blazer or cardigan every day of the year, I would! They are perfect!
I love this look, I have a similar necklace and i love how it can transform an outfit from ordinary to extraordinary! you look great!www.theluxuryrehab.com
Thank you
So true, statement pieces do wonders.
lilly i'm wearing almost the EXACT same blazer today!! twins!
Yay, twinsies
Oh my, LOVE this look! I bought a striped blazer thinking it might be hard to get a lot of wear out of it, but it was so worth it. I have found so many looks!
Love your lace top and AE jeans – I need to find a pair that look good as yours!
I have the hardest time finding THE perfect jeans. AE ones are pretty inexpensive and fit nicely. My only complaint is – they are super low. I have to watch my back side when I bend lol
I love this outfit! Stipes + Blazer = Love! I hate when places freeze you out! My dad use to have a heater under his desk in the summer because the bank was always freezing.www.daisyraeboutique.comwww.kacieskloset.blogspot.com
Where did you get your necklace? Loveeee.
Where did you get your necklace? Loveeee.
The infamous bauble necklace
You can get it for a lot less than what J.Crew sells it for – on eBay or Etsy…just do a search for Bubble necklace 
Love this whole outfit! Especially the shoes and the jacket! So funny about the restaurants….I hadn't ever thought about that, but it makes sence! http://www.everydaywitharedhead.blogspot.com
Thank you SO much for posting this! I just ordered the blazer from F21! You have wonderful style!-Nicole
oooo! I love this! You are so pretty and stylish
I've heard they keep restaurants cold because you eat more when you are cold. Maybe that's why? Who knows, those sneaky bastards!
I heard the same thing, but in my case I just want to get my food and get out of there lol
When you said stripes never get old I said neither does there cuteness lol I love the blazer jacket!
lace, stripes and turquoise—an unbeatable combo
love this on you!-Veronika
I totally agree – love stripes, too!
adorable look! xoxo linds {{www.rubygirlblog.com}}
