Perfect Pairing 2021
by habituallychic
05 . 04 . 21It’s time to post about my favorite outfit again. I didn’t post about it last year because we really weren’t going anywhere but now that things are opening up, I think it’s the perfect time. A white top or ivory blouse with jeans is chic yet comfortable and can be worn anywhere. If it’s chilly, add a blazer or light coat. If it’s hot, switch out thee flats for sandals. It can go from Zoom meetings to walking the dog and eating outside. Since everyone always asks me about my pearl drop earrings from Italy, I’ve picked out a few pairs that replicate the look. I’ve also included great new bags for spring and some complementary lipsticks since we can go without masks outside. It really is the perfect time for this perfect outfit.
This Swiss dot cotton-voile blouse has a high neck but you can unbutton it so it doesn’t feel so constricting or look so conservative. Another pretty option without buttons is this embroidered linen-gauze blouse. I also love this floral-appliqué ramie blouse. A less expensive option is this Swiss dot blouse.
These high-rise slim-leg jeans have stretch so they aren’t as skin tight as some jeans.
These pink ballet flats include 5 mm of plush foam padding to make them more comfortable than most ballet flats and are available in 12 different colors.
This chic chain-strap suede shoulder bag is from Neous, a new-to-me designer. This bag is also available in brown leather and black suede.
If I didn’t already have my pearl drop earrings, I would choose these 14-karat gold, pearl and diamond earrings.
Everyone always asks me about what lipstick I wear but it’s a mix of two discontinued colors from Chanel Beauty. As soon as Westman Atelier released their new Squeaky Clean Lip Oil in Garçonne because I thought it might replace them both and I was right. It’s the perfect sheer lip color.
This Lace Trim Cotton Top is the perfect breezy top to wear with jeans.
I like the slightly paler washes like these high-rise skinny jeans to wear with white and ivory blouses.
I love mixing pale pink or nude shoes like these suede ballet flats with this outfit.
I usually carry a Celine bag and this Celine Small 16 Shoulder Bag would be a great addition to my spring wardrobe.
These pearl drop earrings would make a great gift for yourself and your mom.
This Charlotte Tilbury Superstar Lips Glossy Lipstick is the absolute perfect color.
I love the embroidery on this floral-embroidered ramie blouse. Less expensive options include this embroidered cotton blouse and this other cotton embroidered blouse.
These curvy vintage straight jeans have 100% five star reviews.
These pinky nude suede point-toe flats will go with everything and not just this outfit.
This snake-effect and smooth leather shoulder bag is a fun style for spring.
These 14-karat gold pearl earrings are a more fashion forward pearl earring style.
I also wear this Cle de Peau Refined Lip Luminizer in Old Rose which is another lovely shade.
This lace-trimmed organic-cotton blouse looks closest to the one that Lauren Santo Domingo is wearing in the top collage.
These mid-rise straight-leg jeans are woven with linen so they feel super comfortable.
My Instagram friend Marina Larroude started her own line of shoes and sent me these Lee Flats which are incredibly comfortable. They are available in five different colors.
I’m loving that Celine brought back the old logo and this Camera Bag in Textile with Triomphe Embroidery is super chic. A less expensive option is this canvas camera bag.
These pearl & 14kt gold-vermeil earrings are simple and elegant.
If this Hourglass Unreal High Shine Volumizing Lip Gloss in mauve nude is not your color, there are 17 other colors.
A dressier option is this ivory ruffle front blouse.
I always wear these curvy toothpick jeans but still wish they’d bring back the darker wash.
When you aren’t ready for heels but need something a little bit more than a flat, these point-toe leopard raffia flats are the perfect option.
I love canvas and leather bags like this Saint Laurent medium leather-trimmed linen-canvas shoulder bag for warmer weather.
When you need an elevated pearl earring, I recommend these 14-karat gold, diamond and pearl hoop earrings.
I haven’t tried this Chantecaille Lip Veil in Honeypot yet but I think I’m going to order it today.
Happy Spring Shopping!
XOXO,
