What NYC Recessionista Wears: flowers and chambray

I was all excited to wear my new blazer yesterday … and as it turns out, it was one of those near-perfect spring days. There was a cool breeze, but the sun was shining for most of the day.

I’ve had this blouse for about two years now, but I never thought of pairing it with chambray before!  I think it really makes the colors in the blouse pop more …

And speaking of pops of color … this ‘zinnia’ bracelet from Stella and Dot is just so much fun.

It’s been a goal of mine to dress even more polished for work lately, and I definitely felt like this outfit was pretty smart and chic.
