Velvet Blazer & The TBB Asks for February

Hey! Today I'm excited to participate in The Blended Blog's Ask edition for February. And with it being February what better theme is there than "All About Love"?? As for my outfit, I'll be keeping it short and sweet with a spotlight on my favorite blazer, which happens to be a hand-me-down from a friend. So let's get right to it...

It was a shop my closet type of day, with little time to spare for outfit preparations. Since the gray-purple blazer also features several different colored flowers, there's plenty of accessory options. On this occasion, my favorite scarf hung languidly from the closet door, calling out to me so I made the quick decision to accent olive green. My burgundy handbag has been on repeat lately and was already packed with wallet and other necessities. Done.

I kept it simple with my black slacks/leggings ("Sleggings"), threw on my black and white plaid tunic from the GAP and decided on my latest boots with an odd addition of lace-cuff boot socks. I don't know. I just wanted to add them.

From there, I grabbed my gold statement earrings with a coordinating delicate chain, and ran out the door with barely a second glance.  This ensemble was perfectly comfortable, but seeing this outfit in pictures makes me question a few details. Perhaps I should try a different pair of pants, or a different pair of shoes. What do you think??

Alright, here a few links to the highlighted accessories and then we are moving right on to the questions!!
