i got this $14 jacket at F21 the other day - mainly b/c it reminded me of a piece by one of my favorite designers - nanette lepore. anyway, i need ideas on what top to wear under it. any thoughts? i don't really like how it's styled in the pic and i feel like it needs color (like tan or brown is too expected):
A mermaid skirt is like a pencil skirt, very fitted but flares out at the knees. It tends to be more flattering and is flirty IMO. I'm not sure where I heard it from or maybe I am misusing it - see example below:
thanks, everyone! i had planned on mainly wearing it with dark jeans and pencil skirts so it helps to have confirmation on that! suasoria - i wear jeans more than skirts so i will probably dress it down more often i guess.
i am still sort of torn on tops though. i'm thinking a colorful tank or blouse but i haven't seen anything i just love yet. boots - thanks for the suggestions - they actually have that black and white polka dot blouse paired with the jacket on a display so i tried it on with the jacket in the store. it looked cute but i'm not sure if it's really my style so i left without it. plus, the blouse was a bit overpriced for the quality ($30 or 40 i think, which is a lot for a polyester blouse from F21!).
I didn't even look at the prices, but $30 is a lot for a blouse at XX21!
I wear short sleeve blazers with jeans a lot during the summer. When I don't want to think too much about the outfit, I'll pair the blazer with a tank top, a cute necklace and a pair of interesting flats. That might make a good starting point for you to play around with.

This sounds cute! thanks! oh about the price - i'd totally pay that for a better quality blouse that i liked - i just didn't like the F21 enough to jusitfy the price. it is sort of cute though irl.
I would definitely not buy the $30 blouse. I actually prefer to wear short jackets with some kind of tank or cami, for me its more comfortable and tends to look less baggy!
